With the Freunde der Berge discount subscription, you can now enjoy 50% off lift tickets at four mountain resorts all year round. But how exactly does it work? Here you can find out more about the new benefits offered by the Lower Austrian mountain lift operators.

Skiing Netflix-Style: 50% Off Lift Tickets for Just €7.99 a Month!
Skiing with a subscription? What has long been normal with Netflix and Spotify is now available on the slopes too! Instead of series and music, however, you get skiing fun at a bargain price. For just €7.99 per month, winter sports fans in Lower Austria can get a very special ski subscription and save 50% on their lift tickets. The best part: the subscription is valid in four different ski regions – perfect for anyone who loves discovering new slopes while saving plenty of money.
Which Mountain Resorts Are Included?
The Freunde der Berge discount subscription is valid in four different mountain areas: Hochkar, Ötscher, Annaberg and Mönichkirchen. All four destinations offer a wide variety of slopes, bringing plenty of variety to your skiing adventures this year – all at an unbeatable discounted price.
These mountains also offer numerous activities for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts in summer, as the Freunde der Berge discount subscription is valid all year round. So if you love spending time outdoors and discovering new adventures in nature, you can enjoy the benefits throughout the year.
Here's How It Works:
The principle is simple: sign up for your subscription online through one of the mountain lift operators' webshops and then enjoy the benefits when purchasing your lift tickets.
- €7.99 per month for adults aged 16 and over
- €4.99 per month for children aged 6 to under 16
- 50% discount on lift tickets
- Four mountain areas: Hochkar, Ötscher, Annaberg and Mönichkirchen
- Valid all year round for eligible winter and summer activities
- Digital and straightforward: Your discount is applied when purchasing tickets online through your active subscription in your customer account
- The subscription has a minimum term of 365 days. After that, it renews monthly and can be cancelled on a monthly basis
Important to know: the discount subscription is not a season pass. You still need to purchase a separate ticket for each visit. You can see which tickets are eligible for the discount directly in the respective webshop. The discount applies to the current dynamic online price offered by the participating mountain lift operators.
Additional Benefits with NAKED Optics
If you want to ski on a budget, you'll naturally need the right affordable ski equipment too. That's why Freunde der Berge subscribers receive an exclusive additional benefit: 15% off the entire NAKED Optics range! Here you'll find ski helmets, warming accessories such as ski gloves, merino wool ski base layers and, of course, our iconic ski goggles. The discount codes will be sent by email in time for the ski season opening on December 5.
Now it's time to sign up and start saving. You can find all further information here.
