Tips & Advice

  • Buy Eisstockbahn tickets online before you go, since they aren't sold on site and turning up gives no guarantee of a free lane.
  • Reserve your Alm-Hütte seats ahead, especially Thursday to Saturday, when reservations are paid but include a voucher for food and drinks.
  • Bring your family on a Monday for discounted ice-rink tickets, or on a Sunday for the Eisstockschießen Family Day rate.
  • Remember the event is closed on Totensonntag, 22 November, and from Christmas Eve through 26 December, so plan your visit around those dates.
  • Expect a payment provider transaction fee on online bookings, so factor that in when reserving the igloo, Alm-Hütte or Eisstockbahn.
