MORE ABOUT THE SLEDGING ROUTES

The aim of the Best Time Ticket is to achieve a more balanced utilisation of capacity, which will lead to more space on the cableways and the slopes. A visit in the off-season will be more attractive for guests thanks to the new tariff system. This improves the quality of the skiing or sledging experience throughout the winter.

The following age categories apply to ski and sledging tickets:

  • Child: 6 - 15 years
  • Youth: 16 - 19 years
  • Adults: 20 years and older

Children under 6 are free when accompanied by a ticket-owning adult.

In the online shop

In the online shop, a calendar overview is displayed for both ski tickets and sledging tickets. By selecting the ticket type (4h ticket, day or multi-day ticket, beginner ticket or ski pass Alt St. Johann), the ticket prices appear directly in the calendar, assigned to the days.

At the ticket shop

Next to the ticket shop are blackboards on which the current prices for the day are written.

  • complete shutdown of the facilities or closure of all pistes for an entire day

If one of the cases mentioned above occurs, the ticket must be returned to one of the mountain railway ticket offices immediately after the occurrence of the event. In the event of accident, illness or death of the holder, a medical certificate must be handed in with the ticket. Subsequently, the amount for the unused ski days will be refunded to the payment method used in the online shop.
If a child (under 16 years of age) falls ill, the child's ticket and the ticket of an accompanying person will be refunded, provided that both tickets were insured.
