The Ski Club CERN is affiliated to the French ski federation (Fédération Française du Ski, FFS), whose rules require that each participant in a mountain activity organised by the club must hold a « Licence Carte Neige Loisir » (Carte neige).
This card is valid from the 1st of October to the the 14th October of the following year.
The Carte neige – which you will get automatically by subscribing to a mountain activity – comprises a compulsory insurance against risks related to the practice of ski, including off-piste skiing. It is the Medium option, with options « Standard » and « Famille » (family). Once you log in to your FFS account, you will get the possibility to increase your coverage.
The following table gives an overview about the validity of the types of Carte neige for the different activities:
| Activity | Carte Neige – Type | ||
| Standard | Famille | ||
| Downhill Skiing | x | x | |
| Snowboarding | x | x | |
| Cross-country skiing | x | x | |
| Ski Touring | x | x | |
| Gymnastics | Carte Neige not required | ||
The « Famille » Carte neige has the same coverage as the « Standard » one, but covers all members of a familly living in the same household.
