Safety on the ski slopes
Stöten is a great destination for those who are new to skiing. But it's important to take certain safety precautions to avoid injury. We at Stöten in Sälen have some tips for a safe and fun ski holiday.
Take lessons and use protective equipment
As a beginner skier, it is important to take lessons with a qualified instructor. They'll teach you the basic techniques and help you build your confidence on the piste. In Stöten and Sälen there are ski schools for both adults and children. Wear protective equipment and remember to always wear a helmet and ski goggles. A helmet can protect your head in case of a fall and ski goggles protect your eyes from wind and snow.
Be aware of other skiers
Keep an eye on other skiers around you and be considerate. Respect the direction of skiers and avoid sudden movements that could lead to accidents.
