Long lines in front of the ski lifts: These photos of some ski areas at the weekend caused a stir in recent days. Health Minister Anschober criticized the cable car operators on Monday: “I don’t want to see any more pictures of this type.” Reacted on Tuesday The president of the cable car of the Chamber of Commerce, Franz Hörl, and calls for an end to restrictions on people in gondolas.
AUSTRIA. Cable cars can open on the third closing. In the federal states, however, there is a minimum requirement by the federal government: the distance of at least 1 meter must, for example, B. when queuing, they are met and there is 50 percent occupancy in gondolas and armchairs upholstered. According to Franz Hörl, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, this restriction generates queues at boarding points. “These images are terrible and should not happen again,” Hörl told the morning newspaper Ö1 on Tuesday. He referred to the example of Hinterstoder, where images of crowds at the valley station circulated on the Internet.
The earlier opening hours wouldn’t have helped there, as customers noticed and the parking lot was full at 8:00 a.m., according to Hörl. Due to the 50 percent limit, valley stations can only provide half of the transport capacity. If Hörl has his way, the limit can be waived because the mandatory use of FFP2 skins is still “well accepted” by customers. Where there is still room for improvement in this regard, more security personnel are being worked on, Hörl says.
Anschober: “Terrifying Images”
Health Minister Rudolf Anschober (Greens) stressed at his annual balance sheet press conference on Tuesday that there were some images that he “thought were scary” and that he “no longer wanted to see.” The Health Minister referred to the “very good cooperation” with the district authorities. “I think it is good that you can play sports outdoors without physical contact and that you have to follow the rules,” he said.
Kogler rejects any relief
Vice Chancellor and Sports Minister Werner Kogler on Tuesday spoke out against the wishes of cable car users to relax in an APA interview. The requirement is reasonable, “because the risk of contagion is hidden in the gondolas and not on the ski slopes.” Kogler warned elevator operators to adhere to the rules, otherwise “action must be taken.”
