But not allowed to instruct only host.
But that is really the point....do they need to be qualified instructors to "host on slope" or will a knowledge of the area..(and perhaps that needs defining) be OK. The French seem not...EU and UK law may see it differently. AS I said before soon they will want to "host" apres ski as well. In the UK we do not require UK only instructors to guide people in our hills but we do hope they have a good knowledge of the area. Good host training in situ may be the answer.
BUT ...why do you need to be qualified...AS AN INSTRUCTOR...It is nonsense!
Absolutely!
Need to be trained and examined in mountain safety not in how to teach a snowplough.

And local laws requiring a chalet host to be a qualified instructor are not artificial barriers?

No they are not. They simply state that chalet host is not allowed to host on slopes. If he wants to guide on slopes he would need to be qualified, regardless of where he comes from.
