Three American tourists are facing fines of up to \u20ac1,000 each after being stopped by police while skiing in Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo, in northern Italy\u2019s Dolomites.<\/strong>\u00a0State Police say the trio violated multiple safety laws, including skiing without helmets, lacking mandatory insurance, and\u2014in two cases\u2014skiing under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

The two men and one woman were intercepted by State Police officers assigned to mountain safety and rescue operations in the Tofane area after being observed descending the slopes recklessly and without regard for basic safety rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon inspection, officers determined the three were in breach of Italy\u2019s Legislative Decree No. 40 of 2021, which governs safety on ski slopes. <\/strong>Police cited the group for failing to wear a protective helmet, which is mandatory for alpine skiing and snowboarding under Article 17 since this season and not carrying compulsory liability insurance, required for anyone accessing Italian ski slopes under Article 30.\u00a0Each of these violations carries an administrative fine ranging from \u20ac100 to \u20ac200.<\/p>\n
