Outside the opening hours of the pistes (from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), the pistes are generally closed due to the risk of serious accidents during the preparation of the pistes (winch, etc.). It is forbidden to drive on or enter the closed pistes. Climbing along the ski slope outside the operating hours is not permitted. On days without evening operation, these times also affect those pistes that can otherwise be used as an ascent route.The ascent along the ski slope outside the operating hours is not permitted. There is a danger to life due to the preparation with the help of winches!
