At the weekend, in bright sunshine in Austria, there were sometimes so great traffic jams that some pulled the emergency brake and blocked access. The Bodental in Carinthia, which offers winter hiking and cross-country skiing,
remained closed today after the rush on Saturday, as did the tobogganing meadows in Semmering around 100 kilometers southwest of Vienna. The Hinterstoder, Wurzeralm and Kasberg ski areas in Upper Austria were full today at noon, cars were turned away at the valley entrance.
On Saturday, a large gathering of people had to be broken up in Damüls in Vorarlberg around 70 kilometers south of Lindau on Lake Constance. Many ski areas are open in Austria, but practically only for residents.
There is a ten-day quarantine requirement for those arriving from abroad, which puts most tourists off. In addition, the particularly effective FFP2 masks as mouth and nose protection are mandatory for all skiers over 14 years of age who use gondolas or lifts or have to queue.
Some of the mountain railways only transport half as many guests as they can to keep distance rules. Tickets should be booked online.
