Trail rules
1. Be considerate and pleasant when meeting hikers.
2. You always have the right of way for pedestrians.
3. Limit your speed so that you are not a danger or inconvenience to others, in particular
along roads and paths that invite high speed, or in unclear sections.
4. Slow down to walking speed well in advance of passing others on a narrow trail.
5. Do not make new tracks, if you do not have the skills to overcome an obstacle, get off the bike.
6. Avoid cycling on particularly vulnerable paths immediately after periods of heavy rainfall.
7. Do not make the path wider by cycling around water ponds or obstacles.
8. Carry the bike through marshy areas so that deep ruts do not form.
9. Do not lock the rear wheel on steep downhill slopes.
10. If two cyclists meet on a hill, the one cycling uphill has the right of way.

Snow Riding
Allemannsretten gives cyclists the right to travel on ski slopes in winter, but we also have a duty to act considerately and not cause damage or inconvenience the interests of skiers when we travel.
On the ski slopes, skiers and pedestrians are the soft ones, and cyclists the hard road users.

NOTS therefore wants to encourage cyclists to follow the rules below to prevent conflict and ensure that everyone who travels in the countryside in winter has good experiences.

1. Be considerate and pleasant when meeting skiers and pedestrians.
2. You always have to give way when meeting skiers, they have longer
braking distance, less control and takes up more space in the width on uphill and downhill slopes
3. Go on the right between the ski tracks, possibly to the far right if possible.
4. Slow down to a controlled speed when skiers are approaching, and pass skiers in the same direction as you with caution on the left side.
5. Be especially observant on downhill slopes, it takes longer to brake on snow than on trails/gravel/asphalt.
6. Avoid crossing the ski track more than necessary.
7. Avoid the most popular departure points during peak times on Saturdays and Sundays and otherwise when traffic is heavy on the ski slopes.
8. Avoid riding on ski slopes when it is clear and you are making deep tracks, or when the slopes are soft and need time to settle after the paver has made tracks.

The trail rules have been developed by NOTS.
We encourage the use of these where appropriate, and then with reference to NOTS.
