Slope preparation

In order to offer you perfect conditions on the slopes every day, our snow groomers are in action daily - often until the early hours of the morning.

State-of-the-art technology, experienced drivers and GPS-supported systems ensure safe, consistent and resource-saving slope grooming.

For safety reasons, all ski slopes are closed outside official operating hours.

The closure applies daily from 17:00 until 08:00 the following day.

During this time, snow groomers - some with cable winches - are on the move. There is therefore a danger to life! It is therefore strictly forbidden to enter and ski on the slopes.

We thank you for your understanding and consideration - for your safety and our efficient slope preparation.

Hut fun with responsibility

Together with the hut owners on the Planai and Hochwurzen, a uniform piste regulation including valid piste opening hours was established.

So that everyone can enjoy a safe and relaxed day's skiing, mutual consideration is particularly important - even after the refreshment stop.

The ski slopes are closed daily from 17:00 to 08:00. During this time, the slopes are groomed - often using cable winches. Skiing on the slopes outside of operating hours is strictly prohibited and life-threatening.

We expressly reserve the right to take legal action and claim damages in the event of violations. An external security service is deployed to monitor compliance.

Please follow the rules - for your own safety and that of everyone else.
