Todtnau (dpa/lsw) – Skiers have to adjust to rising prices in the large winter sports area of ??Feldberg in the southern Black Forest. “It will be more expensive than last year,” said the managing director of Feldbergbahnen, Julian Probst, on Tuesday in Todtnau (Lörrach district). He pointed out the increased energy costs for the network, which operates 14 lifts in the core area. “The energy crisis hits us too.”

Liftverbund chairman Johannes Albrecht made it clear that direct price comparisons to the previous season are hardly possible, since a new price system now applies to Feldberg. When booking in advance via the Internet, a price is displayed that depends, among other things, on the capacity utilization of the facilities.

The minimum price for an adult day ticket is therefore 39 euros. In good ski weather and on Sundays and public holidays, this price will be exceeded, said Probst. He did not want to commit himself to a maximum price for a day ticket. “It’s not 80 (euro).” The day ticket had cost 43 euros in the previous season, as he reported.

The new winter season is expected to start on December 3rd. The first lifts on the 1493 meter high Feldberg will open as soon as there is enough snow.
