The speed skating track in Davos is narrow. Therefore, the following guidelines apply to speed skaters.

• Skaters who are not actively moving on the ice skate on the outer edge of the track.
• Skaters who are actively moving on the ice skate on the inner edge of the track.
• Faster skaters always pay attention to slower skaters and overtake on the outside.
• Before an active skater returns to the outer edge of the track, look back briefly so that you do not hinder a faster skater. The same applies when starting to actively skate.
• If you want to take a break, you should leave the track.
• No standing skaters on the track.
• Do not form large groups on the ice. The track is too narrow for that.
• Speed skaters should always be one behind the other.
• The speed of each individual runner should be adapted to their ability in order to avoid falls. Safety is the top priority.
• Using the speed skating facility is expressly at your own risk. Mats provide protection at dangerous spots in the curve.
