A face covering is not required on the ski slopes in the ski resort. The safety distance rules of course apply throughout the resort.
They are ventilated as far as possible, e.g. through open windows.
There are disinfectant dispensers in all toilet facilities, in the till area, in all closed rooms as well as at the entrance and exit of all restaurants.
All staff are provided with multifunctional cloths and face masks, which they must of course wear all the time for customer contact. In closed rooms (e.g. ski schools), plexiglass screens are set up.
In cable cars and chairlifts, the same regulations apply as to all public transport: a FFP-2 mask is mandatory and therefore the cable cars and chairlifts can be occupied as normal (e.g. four people in a 8-seater and two people in a 4-seater cable car, two people on a 4-seater chairlift).
Guests are informed with the help of signs in the resort and updated information is always available on our homepage.
All ski lifts are regularly disinfected.
Employees at the cable cars, ski school and restaurants are regularly instructed about Covid-19 safety measures in accordance with uniform guidelines and regulations.
All restaurant and ski school employees are tested weekly. For other members of staff, there will be ongoing testing possibilities.
There is an employee responsible for Covid-19 who takes care of the planning and implementation of measures.

Covid-19 safety measures for the ski school grossglockner/Heiligenblut
When entering public places, a minimum distance of one metre must be observed to persons who do not live in the same household and to other groups.
In the front office area of the ski school, suitable spatial dividers will be set up.
In case the minimum distance of one metre cannot be observed, e.g. for necessary help or after a fall, then a face covering must be worn.
A skiing course can be booked on arrival, but of course it is also possible to book the ski course in advance online. Please ask for information at the ski school of choice by telephone or e-mail.
To ensure the minimum distance, the group sizes are reduced to a maximum participant number of ten – nine children plus one ski instructor.
The gathering places are distributed as generously as possible. Courses and childminding are planned so that gatherings of large groups are avoided. In the absence of a minimum distance, face coverings are mandatory – even outdoors.
When using the cable cars, the corresponding regulations must be observed (e.g. mandatory wearing of a face covering).
The staff at the cable cars, ski school and restaurants are regularly instructed according to uniform guidelines and regulations about the Covid-19 safety measures at the ski resort.
On the ski school premises and at the restaurants, the teaching material, equipment and toys are disinfected and cleaned several times a day.
Children from toddler age are taught at Snowland – as it is difficult to maintain distance here, the ski instructors wear face masks.
Ski instructors and staff are regularly tested.
At the moment there is no childminding services.
