Lift Passes

Upon arrival at the resort, lift passes will be distributed by your Max Ski Representative.
A €5 deposit has been prepaid for each pass by Max Ski. If anyone wishes to keep their lift pass as a souvenir, the €5 deposit will not be refunded.
Lost Lift Passes
Ski pass operators do not issue duplicate passes without clear evidence of purchase.
Lost lift passes are typically charged at full market value for replacement.
To reduce costs, we strongly recommend that staff and students:
Take a photo of the lift pass before first use, ensuring the serial number is visible.
In cases of loss, replacements may be available at a reduced cost (e.g., €25) if proof can be provided.
Daily Use Tips
Passengers should keep their lift passes in their ski jackets to avoid misplacement.
European lift systems are electronic, so there is no need to remove passes when accessing lifts.
