The two-country region of Oberstdorf/Kleinwalsertal kicked off the new winter season on time on Friday, December 17th, with all six ski areas. After the Söllereck and Kanzelwand cable cars had already brought skiers and snowboarders to the snowy slopes over the past two weeks, the fun of skiing began on Friday on the remaining mountains of this diverse ski region.
Winter has arrived in the two-country region: "We are delighted that all six ski areas of the OBERSTDORF · KLEINWALSERTAL BERGBAHNEN began operating as scheduled on December 17th," says a happy Johannes Krieg, CEO of OBERSTDORF · KLEINWALSERTAL BERGBAHNEN. Guests in the cross-border region were extremely satisfied: Thanks to the low temperatures and snowfall of the past few weeks, the diverse slopes in the various ski areas offer perfect snow conditions for skiers and snowboarders. Some winter sports enthusiasts have been skiing down groomed slopes since daily ski operations began.
Careful – safe – gentle
Unfortunately, this year's season is once again dominated by the pandemic. "Skiing per se is the same as usual this season, but the surroundings have changed a bit due to COVID-19. We're noticing that guests have a lot of questions, especially about the surroundings. Be it about the 2G situation, the mask requirement, or the regulations in mountain restaurants in the two-country ski region. To answer these questions, we have compiled extensive FAQs on our website," explains Dr. Andreas Gapp, CEO of OBERSTDORF · KLEINWALSERTAL BERGBAHNEN. These FAQs can be found at www.ok-bergbahnen.com/sorgsam-sicher-sanft. This means nothing stands in the way of a safe and eventful winter.
