An external safety organization is responsible for compliance with the piste regulations on the Planai and Hochwurzen.



Piste preparation

The Planai-Hochwurzen-Bahnen have made it their duty to ensure and improve the highest possible levels of safety and quality during winter operations.

Because of this piste equipment and/or snow applications may also be in use during ski operating hours.
