Keep distance

You can become infected with the coronavirus if you have close and prolonged contact with an infected person. By keeping the necessary distance (1.5 metres), you protect yourself and others from infection:

  • Keep distance to the people in front and behind you when you are queuing
  • Protect particularly endangered persons in your environment by keeping a distance
  • In restaurants, guests may only take off the mask when seated at a table.

Hand hygiene is even more important this winter:

  • Guests and employees wash their hands thoroughly several times a day.
  • Whenever possible, we refrain from shaking hands and smile charmingly at our counterpart during your stay on the mountain.
