The Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard (hereinafter referred to as: Sommer-card) entitles Guests of the Schladming-Dachstein Region, who are staying during Sommercard season at a Sommercard host business and who have registered by means of the official Guest registration form, to take advantage of many bonus services as well as free admission to over 100 holiday attractions, including summer lifts, swimming pools and museums as well as use of par-ticipating public transportation in the region and an exciting family program. 

The purchase, issuance and utilization of the Sommercard – insofar as not stipulated otherwise – is subject exclusively to the following Terms & Conditions (hereinafter referred to as: Terms). 

To facilitate comprehension, these Terms avoid gender-specific formulations to the greatest extent possible. Insofar as any gender-specific terminology hap-pens to be used, the intent is that this applies to all genders.

These Terms apply to the contractual relationship between the operators of the Sommercard and Sommercard holders and – insofar as nothing is stipulated to the contrary below – represent the exclusive legal foundation for issuance and utilization of the Sommercard. Divergent provisions are not recognized by the operators of the Sommercard and may not, therefore, constitute part of the con-tract. These Terms may be found on the website of Schladming-Dachstein Tourismusmarketing GmbH at https://www.schladming-dachstein.at/de/Service/Impressum, from where they may also be saved or printed off.

The conclusion of an accommodation agreement with a host Sommercard business (refer to website) entitles the contractual partner and their travel companions (Guest) to avail themselves of the Sommercard. (The contractual relationship between the Guest and the Sommercard host – with the exception of provisions pertaining specifically to the Sommercard – is unaffected by the Terms at hand.)

A requirement for issuance of the Sommercard is that the Guest – in accordance with official registration regulations – has truthfully reported their personal data to the host Sommercard business.

Regardless of the length of stay, the Sommercard host is required to draw the Guest’s attention to the Sommercard. The Sommercard host will issue the Guest with a physical or digital Sommercard. The physical Sommercard only becomes valid subsequent to the Guest having signed the back of the card. The digital Sommercard is valid as soon as it has been activated by means of the Sommercard app (hereinafter referred to as: app) on the Guest’s smart phone. In order for the digital card to be issued (without a physical card), the Guest must provide the Sommercard host with an email address to which the Sommercard host can then send a link for the digital card.

The Guest is likewise entitled to install the app on their (mobile) device, then use the scan function to convert and subsequently use the physical card as a digital Sommercard.

The Sommercard may only be used for utilization of Sommercard services by that person whose name and identification number is given on the card (the legitimate holder). With respect to the digital Sommercard, it is possible to store the cards of several people on the same end device. However, each respective digital Sommercard may only be utilized by the legitimate holder in question.

The Sommercard is nontransferable and is not available for purchase on the open market.

The general validity period of the Sommercard extends from 20 May until 1 November 2022.

The specific validity of a Sommercard is restricted to the dates of the stay stipu-lated in the accommodation agreement entered into between the Guest and the Sommercard host in question. Validity begins at 1 PM on arrival day, while the card remains valid for all of the remaining days including departure day. 

The Sommercard entitles the holder to utilize specified Sommercard services according to the Sommercard conditions as detailed. The specified Sommercard services as well as the detailed Sommercard conditions may be consulted at www.sommercard.info - this information is nonbinding. With the exception of the specific conditions, the respective tariff conditions of the Sommercard service provider in question will apply.

When utilizing Sommercard services, the respective general terms of carriage and business, access restrictions, capacity restrictions and hours of operation of the Sommercard partner business will apply. Furthermore, utilization of Som-mercard services may be adversely affected by additional waiting periods or cancellations due to weather, seasonal or miscellaneous operational reasons. Liability on the part of the Sommercard operator for such limitations of service is excluded.
 

In order to utilize a specific Sommercard service, the physical or digital Som-mercard must be presented to the Sommercard service provider whose Som-mercard services are about to be utilized, prior to concluding the contract enti-tling the cardholder to utilization of said Sommercard services. The Sommercard service provider is entitled to check the validity of the Sommercard by means of an electronic verification device, visual inspection etc. If the Sommercard service provider has any doubts about the validity of the Sommercard or the holder’s entitlement to use the Sommercard in question, the provider may demand presentation of photo identification as proof. If the Sommercard is not presented, if it is not or no longer valid, or if the holder refuses to show it, the Sommercard service provider is entitled to deny conclusion of a contract for the Sommercard service in question according to the conditions originally associated with the Sommercard.

The Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard is nontransferable. The legitimate holder must ensure that the Sommercard is not misused. Misuse includes in particular the illegitimate utilization of Sommercard services under Sommer-card-specific conditions, duplication of the Sommercard or use of the Som-mercard by third-parties. The attempt to transfer a Sommercard to a different person constitutes misuse per se. In the event of misuse, loss, theft or other misplacement of the Sommercard, the legitimate holder must notify the Som-mercard operator by telephone or email or the Sommercard-Gastgeber host without delay. The Sommercard operator is not liable for the consequences of damages due either to complete failure or culpable delay in notifying the Sommercard operator about the misuse, loss, theft or other misplacement of the Sommercard – subject to Pt. 8. of these Terms. Misuse will be penalized by confiscation without replacement of the Sommercard and a fine of at least € 70, or by official complaint lodged with the appropriate authorities.

With respect to loss, theft or other misplacement of the physical Sommercard, the legitimate holder has the right to issuance of a new Sommercard. 

The holder of the Sommercard is aware that the sole responsibility of the oper-ator of the Sommercard is for processing procedures between the legitimate holder and the Sommercard service providers as well as Sommercard hosts. The legitimate holders relinquish any potential guarantee or damage claims against the operators, regardless of whether the service provider or Sommercard host is accused of a negligent breach or not. Liability on the part of the operator for damages due to slight negligence with respect to breaches of secondary obli-gations is excluded. In the event of negligent breaches with respect to primary obligations, the operator is not liable for damages the cause of which, by dint of their general nature, appear completely incommensurate with such damages, or for damages which are merely the result of an extraordinary chain of circum-stances. Liability on the part of the operator for premeditation, gross negligence as well as damages resulting from culpable injury to life, body or health of people shall remain unaffected by the aforementioned provisions.

The safeguarding of personal privacy and personally identifiable data of the Sommercard user is a special priority of the operator. Consequently, personally identifiable data is processed exclusively on the foundation of statutory provi-sions (Regulation [EU] 2016/679 for the protection of natural persons pertinent to the processing of personally identifiable data, free movement of data, and repeal of directive 95/46/EEC [GDPR], Data Privacy Act 2018 [“DSG 2018”] and the Telecommunication Act 2003 [“TKG 2003”]).

The Data Privacy Policy of Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard may be con-sulted online by clicking on the following link: https://www.schladming-dachstein.at/de/Sommer/Sommercard/Datenschutz
Consent to these Terms simultaneously confirms awareness of the Data Privacy Policy.

Amendments to the Terms come into immediate effect. The exception to this are Sommercards which are valid at the point in time when the amendment comes into effect. These continue to be subject to – with the following exceptions – the Terms in their most recent valid version prior to purchase of the Sommercard.

The operator may undertake minimal, objectively justifiable amendments to these Terms consistent with § 6 (2) (3) KSchG unilaterally at any time. These amendments may include, in particular: extension of the validity period, editorial adaptations and stylistic changes. Sommercard users will be provided notifica-tion of unilateral amendments to these Terms at the Internet address https://www.schladming-dachstein.at/de/Service/Impressum and potentially also by email.

Should individual provisions of these Terms – including this particular provision – be declared null or void, either completely or in part, or if the agreement evinces an unforeseen loophole, this shall in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of a voided or absent provision, insofar as no compelling legal regulations demand the contrary, this agreement will be amended by means of a provision which most closely approximates the commercial and contextual purposes of the original provision in question.

Insofar as no compelling statutory regulations demand the contrary, the ap-plicability of Austrian substantive law under exclusion of international civil law as well as the UN Sales Convention shall be stipulated.

Insofar as no compelling statutory regulations demand the contrary, the international jurisdiction of the Austrian courts as well as the competent courts – at the point in time when suit was brought – with local jurisdiction over the seat of Schladming-Dachstein Tourismusmarketing GmbH shall be stipulated.

Offshoots of the Schladming-Dachstein Sommercard for guests, there are var-ious other cards which are valid for the entire Sommercard season: the Vermieterkarte, Freizeitcard, employee- and benefit cards. These passes deviate in their included services and specific conditions from those of the Sommercard for guests. The aforementioned Terms are, however, applicable to all seasonal cards with the exception of the validity period and purchase conditions.
 

The Ramsauer Verkehrsbetriebe GmbH (abbr.„RVB“) operates a cross-country network (abbr. LN) of approx. 220 km classic- / skating- / sport-as well as illuminated night trails and a children‘s cross-country skiing park. RVB also operates a groomed toboggan trail, winter hiking trails and owns a snow-factoring system.

1. Only persons who are holders of a valid cross-country ski trail ticket (“Loipi”) are permitted to use the LN.
2. The valid ticket entitles the holder to use all the operating groomed trails within the period of validity according to the tariff conditions and this terms and conditions. The ticket is not transferable.
3. Ticket purchase in advance: Tickets (cardboard card) are sold only in advance at authorized booking offices (Dachsteinbad, Ramsau information office, sports shops, tourism businesses, hotels and private tenants).

6. If the LN cannot be used at short notice (e.g. weather conditions, avalanche danger, early departure, illness, accident, etc.), this fact does not justify a claim for reimbursement or an extension of the period of validity. This also applies to spatially limited or a temporary closure due to a sports event. If the card holder is not able to use the ticket because of illness or an accident, a multi-day / seasonal cross-country ski ticket can be deposited in the RVB office and a partial reimbursement (depending on price and duration of use) can be paid. A medical certificate is necessary to prove the submission.

(above), in each case related to the use of the toboggan runs with riding animals. Please note, riding animals on tobbogan trails § 79 StVO is applied.
