1. General

The ski passes are non-transferable and must be presented upon request of the control personnel.

Subsequent exchange as well as extension or postponement of the period of validity are not possible.

The individual services to which ski passes entitle the holder are provided by legally independent companies.

The company selling the ski pass acts for the other companies only as their representative.

The contracting party is only the mountain railway company whose facilities and slopes are used by the ski pass holder.

The other mountain railway companies of the Silvretta Arena are not liable.

Therefore, only the respective company is obligated to provide the individual services and to compensate for damages in the event of any incidents.

For example, the ski area on the Swiss or Austrian side is operated by different companies.

Our ski passes are basically subject to the access control system “Photocompare”.

This means that at the turnstiles of the feeder lifts, a photo of the ski pass holder is taken on a case-by-case basis, which is then compared with pictures taken when passing through the technically equipped turnstiles in the ski area.

The corresponding pictures are stored in encrypted form and deleted after expiry of the validity period of the ski pass.

With the purchase of a ski pass, you give your consent to data processing in the sense described.

It is also possible to purchase ski passes valid for one day, which are technically configured in such a way that when passing through the turnstiles, no photographs are taken when passing through the turnstiles (these ski passes are also randomly checked by our lift personnel).

We ask for your understanding that our cashier staff may issue discounted ski passes only upon presentation of the appropriate documents (guest card, photo ID …).

All ski passes from 2 days are issued on KeyCards against a deposit of 5 euros.

Return options for undamaged KeyCards and refund of the deposit at the cable car ticket offices, the Samnaun Guest Info and at hotels and apartments on a voluntary basis .

Please pay attention where your ski pass is valid or should be valid when buying! Should you travel with your ski pass to an area not connected to this (even if there is no difference in price), the ticket is invalid and will not be refunded.

Apart from that the conditions of carriage issued for the individual railways/lifts apply.

2. Important information about our tariffs

Our tariffs are based on the prices of the Silvrettaseilbahn AG, Ischgl in Euro (consistent price in the ski area).

Euro tariffs are converted at the exchange rate published by Bergbahnen Samnaun AG at the ticket office and on the homepage and may be adjusted during the season.

Exchange rate differences will not be refunded!

3. Accepted means of payment

Cash (CHF and Euro), Reka-Checks, credit cards (Europay, Visa), Reka-Card.

4. Force majeure and natural events

No refund or price reduction in case of partial opening, early departure or shutdown of facilities or slope closures due to events beyond the control of the company (weather, wind, avalanche danger, natural events, officially ordered closure of operations, etc.).

5. Refund

If the mountain railway company fails to provide its services in connection with the sale of tickets or the use of facilities, or fails to provide them in part, permanently or only temporarily, the customer shall have no claims whatsoever (in particular, no claims for reimbursement or damages against the mountain railway company).

This applies in particular to interruptions or suspensions of operations or slope and path closures in the following cases:

• random events
• force majeure such as wind and weather influences, avalanche danger, strikes
• official orders or restrictions (including those resulting from power shortages)
• voluntary restrictions due to special circumstances (among other things as a result of the authorities appeals for savings due to power shortages
• pandemic or epedemic

refund in case of ski accident

In the event of a skiing accident, the purchase price of ski passes valid for at least two days may be refunded on a pro rata basis.

The refund will be made only in case of a skiing accident, only to the injured person, and requires the return of the ski pass and the presentation of the purchase receipt and the doctor’s certificate (from the valley doctor).

It is made only if the ski pass has not been used after the accident and is limited to the days following the day of the accident.

A refund for the ski passes of persons accompanying an injured person is not possible.

No refunds are possible after the end of the season.

Refunds are made exclusively by bank transfer to the bank account after verification of any outstanding invoices from piste rescue and ambulance services.

6. Replacement for lost and damaged ski passes

For lost or damaged ski passes with a validity period of at least three days, a new ski pass can be issued for a processing fee of 11 Euro (plus deposit of 5 Euro).

The reissue requires the presentation of the blocking slip and an official photo ID.

If the ski pass has already been used on the day the loss was reported, the validity of the newly issued ski pass is limited to the days following that day.

Defective ski passes (without visible external damage) can be renewed only upon presentation of the purchase receipt.

7. Forgotten ski pass

In case of a forgotten ski pass, a grace period of 1 day applies.

In this case, a day ticket must be purchased at the normal rate, which will be refunded for a handling fee of 11 euros, provided that the forgotten ski pass is unused on the date in question.

The refund can be made only by the selling company.

8. Limitation of ticket issue

21. Tariff regulations

The prices listed in the lift information are based on a calculation as of May 2023.

In fact, however, the further development of the factors relevant to this calculation (e.g. energy costs, inflation, etc.) cannot be estimated at the present time.

Therefore, it may be necessary to recalculate the prices in case of corresponding developments.

We must therefore reserve the right to adjust the prices at a later date, of course in any case before the purchase of a ski pass.

In any case, the price announced at this (later) time must be paid.
