Notions of environment and risky activities: Outdoor sports are exciting and enriching activities but involve risks related to the natural environment (weather hazards, obstacles and ground movements, landslides, falls, etc.) as well as risks intrinsic to each sporting activity (which vary from “benign” to “strong” depending on the level and type of practices concerned).
These risks are particularly high in certain sports called “in a specific environment” where the use of highly qualified professional supervision is strongly recommended.
Limit of the supervisor’s liability:The primary role of the guide or instructor is to reduce risks, without being able to claim to eliminate them completely. This incompressible share of risk, concomitant with any evolution in a natural environment and any notion of adventure, can be the source of situations of discomfort, inconvenience, incidents or even accidents, linked to the specific characteristics of the activity and/or its natural environment of exercise, independently of any fault of the supervisor. This particular dimension must be taken into account before contracting with a professional supervisor; the practitioner must thus assume with full knowledge of the facts his own share of responsibility in the decision to engage in an activity and a natural environment of which he cannot reasonably ignore the objective risks inherent to them. Precautions and duties of the practitioner towards the supervising professionals and the group:Before any activity, it is essential:
– that the practitioner informs his guides or instructors of his physical, psychological and technical profile and of any precautions, restrictions and contraindications that may result from this with regard to the sporting practice
– to take good note of the various information provided by the supervising professionals in order to equip and prepare as best as possible.
During activities on the ground, in order not to compromise your own safety and that of the group, it is crucial:
– to show up with the recommended equipment (if not provided by the supervision)
– to respect the instructions of the guides or instructors
– and not to hesitate to ask for clarification, if in doubt

The organizer supervises the activity and also uses independent instructors. Each independent instructor is covered by Professional Civil Liability insurance for their own activities and for the costs incurred by a possible rescue operation.
This insurance does not cover participants for “individual accidents”, we strongly advise each participant to inquire with the insurance of their choice for civil liability insurance and/or individual accident insurance for the practice of outdoor/mountain sports.
Indeed, we cannot replace the individual civil liability of each participant.
The company is insured for civil liability for all the activities it offers and its liability cannot be incurred for activities booked with other service providers.
In the event of a personal accident, the liability of the company and the instructor involved is released as soon as the victim is taken care of by the competent emergency services, and any hospital follow-up will be the responsibility of the accident victim’s personal insurance.
For minors participating in activities and stays, under the supervision of an external organization, the latter is legally responsible for the conditions of participation.
The participant/client is responsible for the equipment lent to them for the activity. The professional cannot be held responsible for any damage that may be caused by the equipment provided.
In the event of theft, loss or damage to the equipment lent, the participant/client may be asked for compensation for wear and tear or a full refund of the equipment.
In most cases, the meetings take place at the activity car parks. These car parks are often isolated in the mountains, we advise you to take the bare minimum in your vehicles. The Organizer declines all responsibility in the event of theft of equipment from your vehicles.
The organizer cannot be held responsible for the loss, theft or breakage of objects (e.g. glasses, cameras, etc.) that participants may take with them during the activity and that may occur during the activity.
