Corona measures for the season 2021/2022
22.11.2021
Dear guests!
The latest regulation (5. COVID-19-Notmaßnahmenverordnung) to protect against Covid-19 has been in force since November 22, 2021. According to the regulation, the lockdown in Austria will be in effect until December 13, 2021. Skiing is permitted during the lockdown.These slopes and lifts are currently open: LIFT- and PISTE STATUS.
The 2G rule* applies throughout Austria in ski areas. We are therefore obliged to check for valid 2G proof (vaccinated or recovered) for all guests from the age of 13. Access to the ski area is not possible without corresponding 2G proof. In addition, FFP2 masks are mandatory in all closed public areas, in the gondolas and on chairlifts with protective hoods.
For school children from Austria (up to the 9th grade), the Ninja Pass is equivalent to 2G proof and is also valid on the weekend following the respective test week.
There is a transition period until December 6th for guests who show proof of a first vaccination with a centrally approved Covid-19 vaccine as well as proof of a negative PCR test valid from the last 72 hours.
The 2G regulation also applies in all mountain restaurants with the above-mentioned exceptions for children and for those who have been vaccinated for the first time with a valid PCR test. (Note: Due to the lockdown, mountain gastronomy is expected to be closed until December 13th, 2021.)

Social Distancing
Generally speaking, skiing is an outdoor sport and the chances of being infected are much less than when indoors. We will try to maintain the social distancing requirements wherever possible and to minimise all personal contact. We ask you in general to show consideration and appeal to everyone to be responsible.
Face masks and hand disinfectant
In all of the indoor areas of the ski school we kindly ask our guests from the age of 6 onwards to wear a face mask. The important thing is that your mouth and nose are completely covered. We also expect the obligatory hand disinfection when entering and leaving our premises. All sales outlets and receptions are equipped with glass protection.
Booking online
All of our ski school offers can be booked online. We kindly request and recommend our guests to make use of this facility. You can book the services you require from the comfort of your own home. The tickets are prepared in our office, which saves you time and minimises contact.
Lunchtime supervision
Our lunchtime supervision will also be offered in winter. However, there will be a limited offer in terms of time and logistics, depending on the restaurant in question. If required by the general recommendations, course guests will be asked to go to the reserved table with a face mask on. You do not need to wear a face mask when eating at the table.
Small children – “Bambini“
For ski courses for children from the age of 3 to 5 (Bambini course), the groups will consist of no more than 5 children. This minimises the risk and upon close contact the ski instructors will wear a face mask.
Ski races and prize giving for the guests
Our guest ski race will continue to take place fully on a weekly basis. The start intervals will be slightly extended to avoid any congestion at the start and finish areas. All award ceremonies will be held outdoors within the group.
Contact-Tracing
In the event of a positive Covid-19 ski course participant, it is essential to collect the correct data from all our guests (mobile phone number, accommodation, email) as quickly as possible, in order to prevent the virus from spreading.
Guests with symptoms
It should be taken as a matter of course that guests with symptoms of illness cannot take part in the ski school programme. We ask for your understanding on this point, only in this way can we all protect each other.
Isolation in case of symptoms
If symptoms occur in any of the children on the ski course, then they must be immediately separated or isolated from the rest of the group. Parents must ensure that they can be reached at all times and must pick up their child as quickly as possible.
Safety for our employees
For our ski school employees, we will do everything in terms of safety. In addition to correct briefings and rules of conduct, we will ensure a good standard of accommodation and working conditions and will carry out systematic testing and testing in the event of the slightest suspicion.
And one more tip...
Dear guests, skiing is an outdoor sport and it has been proved that it is very beneficial for your health. You are outdoors in the fresh mountain air, you are stocking up on vitamin D and you are moving a lot. And that is not only good physically, but after the restrictions over the last few months, a stay in the mountains is also good for your mental health. So therefore we are looking forward to seeing you this winter!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Skiing and snowboarding will be a bit different this season. Jochberg/Kitzbühel/Paß Thurn and the cable car companies will enforce all necessary measures by all means so that you can experience Austria’s greatest skiing with the best possible safety. We also ask you to kindly respect our COVID-19 regulations, so that we can be safe together. Then, as it currently stands, there is nothing standing in the way of an unlimited ski operation in winter 2020/21.
