The Lower Austria Mountain Experience Pass is available on site at participating mountain railways (note: Königsberg is not a sales outlet) and, in some cases, via their online shops.

Yes, but only onto existing Lower Austrian Mountain Experience Pass keycards from the previous year, as well as ‘Friends of the Mountains’ cards. To make full use of the Lower Austrian Mountain Experience Pass, a special data carrier (keycard) is required.
‍
Therefore, it is unfortunately not possible to top up a different keycard.

The fee for the new keycard is €5.00.
‍
You’re welcome to return any old keycards that are still in working order on your next visit to the relevant ski resort. Use your new Lower Austria Mountain Experience Pass again next year!

There are two advance booking periods: the ‘Super Advance Booking’ period, which includes the family discount, runs every year until 31 October. The standard advance booking period (without the family discount) runs until 30 November. Standard rates apply from 1 December.

Please note that the date on which the ski pass is returned is decisive for the refund. Any refunds are granted purely as a gesture of goodwill and do not constitute a legal entitlement for the future.
 

• A refund will only be granted in the event of injuries resulting from skiing accidents or illness – a medical certificate from a specialist, the accident report and the Lower Austria Mountain Experience Pass must be submitted without delay.
• A refund is in any case excluded if the pass has already been used on 10 days or more.
• The following amount will be deducted for each day the ski pass has been used:
  Adult €50 / Child €30
• No refund will be given for use after 28 February.  
• No refund is possible after 1 April.  
• When returning an adult pass, any children’s passes issued free of charge as part of a bundle must also be returned. For paid children’s passes, return is optional.
  Any second adult pass cannot be refunded in this context.

Refunds for unused season tickets:

If the season ticket has not been used throughout the season due to injury or illness, a refund will be issued (at the purchase price). However, a processing fee of €25 will be charged. Otherwise
, the same conditions apply as for a standard refund.
