The Tyrolean ÖVP member of the National Council and chairman of the Cable Car Association in the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKÖ), Franz Hörl, announced on Thursday the shortening of the validity of the Green Passport in connection with season tickets criticized. For those who have been vaccinated twice, the Green Passport is only valid for 180 days instead of 270 from February 1st. He therefore called on guests to update the respective online platforms.
As a result of the new regulation, as of February 1, “around 270,000 of the currently registered and valid tickets would be checked in one fell swoop and their validity reduced by 90 days,” Hörl said in a broadcast dar,” he said. When purchasing a season ticket, a Green Passport must be shown.
For example, if you have been vaccinated a third time, you should state this now. The updates can be “done quickly and easily from home”, which makes a “massive contribution to reducing the testing effort in the ski areas”. “This means that access will be possible again as planned until the end of the season,” explained Hörl. The deputy also criticized “that the measure was not coordinated with the neighboring countries by the federal government”, which was “at the expense of our location”.
