Up the mountain together - safely!

safety measures in THE ski area

Face masks: are compulsory in all enclosed travel equipment such as gondolas and covered chairlifts. Furthermore, face masks are compulsory in all enclosed lift areas e.g. toilets, self-service areas, ski depots, shops, etc. and in all in all queuing/boarding areas in front of the ticket desks and the entrances and exits.

According to current standards, alternatives to the single-use face masks such as neck gaiters, balaclavas, bandanas, buffs, tube scarves, etc. are also accepted. It is important that mouth and nose are completely covered to prevent the spread of droplets when speaking, coughing and sneezing. Neck gaiters/buffs are sold at the ticket counters and sports shops.

In Austria, ski lifts are classified as public transport, capacity limitations are not imposed. The Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau lift company has decided to reduce typical occupancy to facilitate distancing. Groups or families belonging together may of course occupy a gondola to full capacity. Should this result in slightly longer waiting times, we kindly ask you for your understanding. In all Ski Juwel gondolas the travel time is below the critical 15 minutes. In order to keep travel time as short as possible, the lifts will generally operate at a higher speed.

• Disinfecting gondola cabins:
  the gondola cabins are regularly disinfected using cold atomisation processes. Regardless of any disinfection measures, all gondolas have windows that remain open for continuous ventilation.
• Notices and disinfectant dispensers: 
  notices indicating the rules of conduct are posted at all boarding areas and disinfectant dispensers are provided for at the mountain and valley feeder lift stations.
• Intercoms and cashless payments:
  all ticket counters have intercoms and accept cashless payments.
• Staff adhere to preventive measures:
  face masks are also compulsory for all staff who interact with the general public.

Staffs' temperature is taken on a daily basis. Furthermore, a certified institute carries out scheduled and event-related Covid-19 tests on staff.
