Do you do winter sports?


Around 4,000 skiers were out in the area that day. That is about 25 percent fewer winter sports enthusiasts than on a normal weekend. “It was a difficult situation, the federal government communicated unclearly,” says CEO of Titlisbahnen Norbert Patt to “LZ”.

Don’t be afraid of buses

The Federal Council regulation stated that skiing was possible. So a ski area is not an event. Ski areas are considered to be transport companies and are subordinate to the Federal Office of Transport. “We adhered to the regulation, but Federal Councilor Berset then said something else, namely that ski operations must also be stopped,” said Patt.

You are not afraid of a bus at the ski resort. «In our view, the regulation was clear, we didn’t violate it. In the meantime, it has been clarified so that there is now clarity for everyone. » In addition, the population was not endangered because there was social distancing in a ski operation.
