Service right on the trail – for your perfect cross-country skiing day
Trail Service & Trail Rescue in the Region Seefeld
The trail service team is fully aware of the importance of its work. Every team member is thoroughly trained for the tasks ahead. In addition to essential first-aid training, which enables them to act as first responders in an emergency, the preparation also includes instruction in psychology and people management.
The team’s goal is to provide comprehensive support on the trail for all guests and locals. At least four team members are on duty continuously during opening hours. Thanks to regular position changes, as many skiers as possible have a direct contact person on the trail.
Tickets control
Use of the cross-country ski trails in the Region Seefeld is only permitted with a valid ticket. The different types of tickets are checked daily by employees of the cross-country skiing service. In addition to various fixed positions, the checks are also carried out "on the fly".
Cross-country ski trail signs
Together with all those responsible for the operation of the trails, the team is also responsible for the signposting. Along the 245 km of cross-country ski trails, which are freshly groomed every day, there are signs at regular intervals that comply with the Ö-Norm. In addition to the name of the trail, the number, the kilometre and the alpine emergency number, the basic colours blue, red and black also show the degrees of difficulty – easy, medium, difficult.
Safeguarding danger zones
Maximum safety on the trails. During special control runs, potential danger spots are secured by the cross-country skiing service team. Particularly on routes with steeper descents, not only are appropriate signs put up, but safety nets or impact mats are also installed.
Providing information
Information about the exact course of the trail, the next trail routes or existing closures are particularly important. A good contact person can also provide information about the nearest refreshment stop or carry maps and various checklists. Where are the nearest ticket offices, what events are planned on the trails?
