Despite the blockade, the ski areas will start operating their ski lifts from December 24. The government left the decision to the countries. They agreed to unlock. “We want to allow outdoor exercise, especially in prolonged confinement, under strict and uniform rules,” said Upper Austria Governor Thomas Stelzer.
In addition to elevator capacity limits and the FFP2 mask requirement, there is no cabin pick-up service. Tickets are sold online. The cable car industry had already created perfect safety concepts in the summer, according to the office of the Salzburg regional chief Wilfried Haslauer. Doctors had warned of an additional burden on hospitals due to sports injuries.
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (VP) opposed the opening of the ski areas, but the federal states prevailed on this point.
