Information from the FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health) on compulsory masks

Regarding the Covid certificate obligation, there is currently no obligation for the use of the mountain railways. Belalp Bahnen AG will not introduce one on a voluntary basis. How the whole situation and the measures ordered by the authorities will develop further cannot be assessed from today's perspective.

However, if the certificate obligation is introduced in the ski area, the following regulation will apply: Non-use of the (transport) facilities does not entitle the holder to exchange, change, transfer, refund in full or in part, nor to take back purchased tickets/ski passes.

The Federal Council has adapted the provisions on the operation of cable cars. The cable cars are once again treated in the same way as the provisions on public transport. The capacity restrictions in closed cable cars are therefore no longer applicable. The obligation to wear a mask and hygiene rules continue to apply.

If there is an increased number of guests, additional trips are introduced on the cable car. In winter, the small gondolas are also in operation, running continuously from 08:45 - 17:00. There are no capacity restrictions on the cable cars.
