The winter sports season is just around the corner and many Austrians are heading back to the mountains for skiing. The ‘Krone’ investigated how you can save money, despite the fact that cable car prices have risen again by an average of seven percent this year.
Skiing was and is an expensive pleasure. Winter sports enthusiasts will have to dig deeper into their pockets again this year. On average, prices increased by seven percent, calculated the German winter sports portal Schneehoehen.de. The costs for a day ticket for adults increased the most in Fendels (Kaunertal in Tyrol) with +11.1 percent to 50 euros (day ticket for adults), Nauders (Reschenpass/Tirol) with +10.5 percent to 63 euros or in Obertauern (Salzburg) by +10.2 percent to 65 euros.
