Up the mountain together - safely!

information on the purchase of ski passes

From November 15, the 2G rule will apply. 
This means that you will need proof that you have been recovered or vaccinated when you buy your ticket. Tests are no longer valid. This proof is required from the age of 12.

• The 2G certificate is checked when the ski pass is purchased and is unlocked for the period of validity of the respective certificate. For example, if you provide proof of recovery when you purchase a season pass, you may be issued a season pass, but it may only be activated for a maximum of 180 days after recovery. After that, you must provide new 2G proof to continue using the season pass.
• When ski passes are issued by third parties (e.g. by hotel operators, instructors at school ski courses, etc.), the third party acts on behalf of the lift operator and ensures that an appropriate 2G check is carried out by the latter.

Online ticket shop and voucher shop:
Using the online ticket shop, all guests can conveniently order their ski passes at home or top them up if they already have a keycard. Please note that it may take a few days for the tickets to be sent by post. Here, too, we guarantee you the greatest possible security! The value of unredeemed ski passes remains 100%. This value can be redeemed at a later date, e.g. also in the following season. The same applies to gift vouchers.

  A medical confirmation of an infection confirmed by molecular biology also counts as evidence.

Children

• Proof of 2G is required from the age of 12.
• For school children from Austria, the Ninja Pass is considered equivalent to the 2G proof and is also valid for the weekends of the respective test week.
  During the school-free period, the 2G proof can still be replaced for school-age children if proof of tests and test intervals similar to the Ninja Pass can be provided. Detection is defined as a negative result of a molecular biological test for SARS-CoV-2 (e.g. PCR test) carried out by an authorised body, the collection of which must not have taken place more than 72 hours ago.
• The professional association is currently working on a solution or formal equivalence of equivalent proofs for foreign school children. 

Legally approved exemptions from the 2G requirement

• Pregnant women and persons who cannot be vaccinated due to health reasons are exempt from the compulsory presentation of a 2G certificate. These people may use the cable car upon presentation of a medical certificate together with a negative PCR test.

With Safe2Ski you can also activate your ski pass quickly and easily online or your with your mobile phone with your digital 2G proof (vaccinated or recovered).

This is how the activation works:

• Enter ticket number (23-digit number starting with 01-....)
• Upload digital 2G proof (QR code)
• Agree

Note:
If you click on "Agree", your ski pass remains linked according to the validity of your 2G certificate. By clicking on "Decline", the ski pass is only linked to the valid 2G certificate for today and must be activated again on all further days.

However, activation is of course also possible on site at the ticket offices.
