Ski tourers on ski slopes

 

The ski tour season starts on on December 7th with the opening of the 6.3 km long Klösterle valley run. Before that, access to the slopes is expressly forbidden due to snow-making work.

 

 

Daily fee €10 or with valid season ski passes, Winter Kärnten Card etc. upon registration. The touring trail starts in the "Kinderland" Klösterle right next to the parking lots.

 

Forest Path:

If there is enough natural snow, the municipality of Arriach also maintains a signposted forest path. This ends without exception at the "Huaba Hut". From there, the ascent is only possible via the piste walker path along the Klösterle north run next to the piste. See graphic below:

 

Rules for ski tourers on the Gerlitzen Alpe:

• Ski slopes are primarily available to users of cable cars and lifts!Skiers should never be hindered or endangered by mountain hikers!
• The ascent is only permitted at the edge of the slopes (FIS Rule No. 7)!
• Crossing the slopes is strictly forbidden!
• Dogs are strictly forbidden!
• Particular caution is required in front of crests, in narrow passages and steep slopes!
• The ban on the use of a closed piste also applies to mountain hikers!
• All slopes are closed from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. It is strictly forbidden to enter the slopes during this time! There is danger to your life!

Please note for the descent: According to §33, skiing in the forest in the area of lifts (e.g. cable cars) is only permitted on marked slopes. The "area of ascent aids" is to be understood as the area that can be reached from the mountain station of an ascent aid, but at least an area of 500m on both sides of the ascent aid, slope or marked descent. You should therefore only ski on the marked slopes. If we violate this, we will be punished with a complaint.
