Big changes have developed over the last months –COVID-19 has influenced our way of life worldwide. The safety and personal health of every person are, more than ever at the forefront of our minds, including that of our lift companies. We are establishing, based on the regulations of the Austrian FederalGovernment, a series of measures to protect all guests and employees.


In compliance with the current valid regulations and additional safety measures, we firmly believe that you can relax and enjoy your winter days in our network, with 121 lifts, and 408kilometres of piste with incorporated safety distance measures. In addition, there are 23 lifts operating from the valley stations ensuring a smooth ascent into the ski region ofSkicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, Schmittenhöhe in Zell amSee and Kitzsteinhorn in Kaprun.

 

For everyone’s safety
Please respect our COVID-19 Code of Conduct, which is continuously updated to reflect the current situation and any changes in legal or regulatory requirements.  


What we can do for you!
Lift Companies-General information and organisation

  • Signposts and information points in the ski area: These outline our Code of Conduct for the lifts and throughout the ski area.
  • Masks and tubular scarves (MNP): The wearing of an MNP is obligatory in the appropriately marked areas (see also below).
  • Organised queuing areas: We will organise the queuing areas independently of the current legal requirements in such a way that clusters of people are avoided as much as possible.
  • Hand hygiene: We have installed sufficient hand disinfection facilities in the indoor areas of the lift stations.
  • Number of people: In accordance with legal requirements, the maximum number of people permitted in enclosed lifts (gondolas) is limited to 50%. A reduction of the maximum number of people permitted in chair lifts and t-bar lifts is not legally binding, but when passenger volume is low, we will endeavour to limit numbers in the lifts. An MNP must always be worn when in a lift.
  • Disinfection measures: We will disinfect lifts regularly.Disinfection measures are also carried out regularly in elevator lifts, escalators, sanitary facilities, ski depots and first aid rooms.

Lift Company employees

  • COVID-19 testing:Employees are tested for COVID-19 before they start work for the first time. For those who are in contact with customers, follow-up tests are carried out on specific occasions, with the possibility of ongoing testing.
  • MNPand temperature measurement:Employees in contact with guests are instructed to wear an MNP. Before the start of their work, all employees are given a daily body temperature measurement.
