Austria is back! With the end of the lockdown on December 12, the long-awaited winter season finally starts. And with them, the coolest ski hotels in Austria are back at the start.
Rechtzeitig zum Beginn der Wintersaison endet in Österreich der Lockdown. Das heißt, nun sind nicht mehr ausschließlich Tagesbesuche in den beliebten Skiregionen der Alpenrepublik möglich. Auch Übernachtungen und der Besuch von Restaurants sind – zumindest in den meisten Teilen Österreichs – dann wieder erlaubt. Einreisen dürfen alle, die einen 3G-Nachweis vorzeigen können.
Für die Benutzung von Liften und Seilbahnen gilt allerdings die 2G-Regelung. Das heißt, vollständig geimpfte oder genesene Gäste dürfen die Beförderungsdienste in Anspruch nehmen. In Gondeln, Sesselliften mit Haube und in den Wartebereichen von Seilbahnstationen gilt FFP2-Maskenpflicht. Und dann steht dem Wintersportvergnügen schon nichts mehr im Weg. Apropos stehen: in den Startlöchern stehen auch schon die coolsten Skihotels in Österreich, zum Beispiel diese hier:
