Alpine Ski Passes Rise for 2025–26 as Austria and Germany Lift Rates

Operators cite rising labor costs as the key driver of the higher prices.

Overview

  • In Austria, major resorts are raising prices by around 4%, with St. Anton’s day ticket set at €81.50, up 4.5% from last winter.
  • Six‑day adult passes also increase to about €384 in Zillertal, €359 in Ischgl, and €395 in Wilder Kaiser for the main season.
  • Germany’s fares climb as the Zugspitze day ticket moves from €66 to €69 and Alpenplus minimum daily rates rise from €49 to €51.
  • Switzerland shows mixed pricing as low inflation helps hold some rates, Jungfraubahnen lifts prices about 5%, and dynamic models make early or off‑peak bookings cheaper.
  • Despite higher costs, officials report solid booking indicators, while a Holidu analysis points to budget options in France such as Artouste‑Laruns at about €43.50 per person per day.
