TIPS

• Check the Weather Forecast: Before you buy your lift pass, check the weather forecast to ensure optimal skiing conditions.
• Buy Daily or for Short Periods: If unexpected events occur, such as bad weather weather or health issues, the operator does not refund money. Consider purchasing daily or short-term passes to minimize your losses.
• Buy a Plastic Card: Use the Ski Point system to load your lift pass. This helps you avoid waiting in line at the desks.
• Take Care of Your Lift Pass: Take a picture of your pass in case it gets lost. Don't share it with anyone, as it will be blocked, and avoid buying passes from individuals.
