Getting to the Seiser Alm

Getting to the Seiser Alm (OPEN AERIAL CABLEWAY):
The road to the landscape conservation area Seiser Alm is closed to private traffic from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., except for bicycles. During this time you can get to the Seiser Alm by the Seiser Alm cable car or bus. Before 9:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. the road for private traffic is only allowed up to Compatsch.

A ticket system for the allocation of parking spaces on the Seiser Alm has been introduced. This means that the limited available parking spaces on the Seiser Alm can be better organised. Already in St. Valentin, you have to decide in which parking area P1 (Spitzbühl) or P2 (Compatsch) you would like to park. Accordingly, visitors are given a parking ticket for P1 OR for P2. The P1 car park Spitzbühl has paid spaces (15.00€ a day). The parking area P2 in Compatsch costs €30.00 per day for cars (equivalent to the tariff for a roundtrip ticket with the Seiser Alm cable car) and €160.00 for buses. In the Seiser Alm Nature Protection Reserve parking is prohibited from 11.00 pm to 6.00 am.

Especially at weekends and when the weather is particularly nice, it can happen that the road closes even before 09.00 when the parking capacity on the Seiser Alm is reached!
