What we do for you

- Organization of waiting areas: In the waiting area, the minimum distance of one meter to other ski guests must be observed on all sides. So that this works better, guidance systems are set up in front of the turnstiles, which make it easier for you to comply with this.
- The “Fast Lane” for individual skiers at the chairlifts remains closed so that only those people who are wanted can ride with you on the lift. Our employees at the cable cars see themselves as service providers and are happy to help you answer questions about compliance with the safety measures, so that you can always move around the ski area with a good feeling.
- Reduction of the maximum transport capacity in all CLOSED cable cars to 50% (Kanzelbahn, Wörthersee 6-seater Family Jet):
- In order to maintain the minimum distance, the available seats on the cable cars listed above may only be half occupied. The exception is of course the family group or people from a common household
- Hygiene: We have installed hand disinfection facilities in the indoor area of our cable cars and the toilet facilities. The countless toilet facilities in the respective station buildings of the cable cars in the area are also checked, cleaned and disinfected several times a day. A list with the cleaning times hangs on all entrance doors of the toilet facilities.
- Ventilation of the gondolas: A window in the doors of the Kanzelbahn is always open to ensure continuous ventilation. In addition, the Kanzelbahn also has ventilation inlets in the floor area.
- Disinfection measures by means of cold fogging: We disinfect all cable car, sanitary and toilet facilities, first aid rooms and staff lounge rooms on a daily basis. In addition, cold fogging devices were purchased with which the cabins of the Kanzelbahn are disinfected several times a day. These devices meet the highest standards, which are used in operating theaters, for example.
- Our employees with guest contact are instructed to wear an MNS and gloves.
- COVID tests: As a transport company with public transport, the legislation requires a responsible railway doctor. He carries out the necessary COVID tests for our employees, who work in isolated teams.
