CORONA REGULATIONS FOR CABLE CAR OPERATIONS (as of 29.11.2021)

In accordance with the current COVID-19 protective measures ordinance of Austria’s federal and provincial governments:

It is mandatory to wear FFP2 masks in all cableways and carriers and their respective facilities.

Certification of vaccination or recovery for transports with cable cars

 

We are obligated to check all guests over the age of 12 who intend to use cable cars for valid certificates (vaccination or recovery). You are only allowed to access ski lifts with a ski pass AND a valid certification of being vaccinated or having recovered.

For children between the ages of 12 and 15, the "Ninja Pass" (the Austrian corona test pass for children) applies.

 

Validity of the corona test pass for children (Ninja Pass) in school-free periods:

With the 5th COVID-19 emergency measure regulations entering into force, the application of the test system, on which the Ninja Pass is based, has been expanded to include school-free weeks.

The result: In school-free periods, the proof of vaccination or recovery for pupils who are subject to compulsory schooling shall be replaced by tests and test intervals equivalent to the provisions of the Ninja Pass. A negative result of a molecular biological test for SARS.CoV-2 (e.g. a PCR test) from a sample taken less than 72 hours before shall be considered as proof.

Children up to the age of 12 do not have to provide this kind of proof of vaccination or recovery.

Further details on exemptions for children and adolescents are currently being prepared by the Austrian Ministry of Health.

 

What are the do’s and don’ts within the ski resort?

For our guests, we also provide a free tube scarf (bandana) for every ski pass purchased in Obertauern. The big advantage of skiing is that functional and appealing mouth-nose protection is often already part of a skier's equipment, simply because of the prevalent weather conditions and temperatures.
