Safety is of paramount importance at Swiss Valley.
Swiss Valley’s winter operations (ski lifts and trails) are designed for use by guests using alpine skis or snowboards affixed to their feet by a range of binding systems and standardized adaptive ski devices and equipment for individuals with disabilities.
As such, the acceptance of any device without an appropriate binding system is closely reviewed by the Swiss Valley Management Team and must be approved by Swiss Valley prior to the use of any such equipment. If you have a request to use a device to access Swiss Valley, please email Info@SkiSwissValley and allow 72 hours for review of your request.
In general, devices must have a binding system and/or a leash, tether or other retention device, as well as full metal edges on the sliding surface. The leash must be worn at all times, including on lifts and when sliding. Some devices that meet this criteria (such as Snow Bikes) may still not be allowed.
