So that every winter sportsman reaches the valley safely

Skifahren bei Sonnenschein am Hochkar
To ensure that every skiing day ends pleasantly, it is important to observe certain rules of conduct on the slopes. Just like on the country's roads, certain rules of conduct and driving also apply on the slopes in the Hochkar ski area. To ensure that winter sports enthusiasts at Hochkar also find top slopes, maintenance and preparation are an important part. Therefore, always remember: observe piste closures and waggle down the slopes with your eyes open! In addition, skiing is twice as much fun when you are mindful of snowcats and fellow skiers!
