Winter sports - Ski season starts on the Zugspitze
From Friday, skiers can make their first turns on the Zugspitze. Winter operations start on Germany's highest mountain - a good two days after the first lifts in the Black Forest and one day later than on the Söllereck in the Allgäu. The heavy snowfall over the past few days has shaken up the order of the season opening.
Ski fans will once again have to dig deeper into their pockets. Depending on the ski resort, it is likely to be between just under four and ten percent. On the Zugspitze and in the Garmisch Classic ski area, where the season is not scheduled to start until mid-December, a day ticket will cost 62 euros, 5 euros more than last season. In Austria, prices are also rising by up to ten percent.
Nevertheless, the anticipation seems great. "Season ticket sales are going very well, interest in winter sports is unbroken," said Antonia Asenstorfer, Managing Director of the Alpen Plus ski resorts and board member of the Association of German Cable Cars and T-bar Lifts. After two corona years and a winter dominated by the energy crisis, it looks like a normal winter again for the first time, said Verena Tanzer, spokeswoman for the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn.
