When do I have to wear a mask on the ski area ?
Approved masks or neck warmers must be worn from age 6 on ski lifts equipped with cabins, within the lift pass offices, inside the closed lifts stations and while queuing at the lifts or at the lift pass office.
But do not worry, you can take the open air lifts and ski freely without your mask on and breathe the pure air of the mountains 😉
