Summer Lift Passes
All lifts, including the Funicular and Cable car, require a Lift Pass. The easiest way to purchase a lift pass is online. This allows you to change your booking up until one day before the day you’ve set. You may also charge or re-charge your lift pass (recharging is only possible if you already have the physical lift pass) in the SkiStar app. If you don’t have the card/physical lift pass, you can book one via the app and pick it up at one of the automatic machines that are placed next to the lifts. You may also purchase a lift pass via one of SkiStar’s shops.
