Etiquette, safety and scams
Scams and watch-outs
- Lift tickets are seasonal; check prices on arrival.
- Weather can change quickly; carry warm gear.
- Roads may be icy in winter; allow extra travel time.
A resort town, not a city: the real risks are winter roads, deep cold and off-piste terrain. Ski with a partner, keep to marked runs unless you have avalanche gear and training, and carry your passport — police checks are routine in the region.
