Vouchers can be exchanged for tickets at the ticket machine at the lower station of the cable car.
Ticket sales and control are carried out via computer-controlled ticket offices and electronic readers. Visitors are required to register their ticket on the electronic control devices when entering a facility. Visitors are required to show their ticket to an authorised person of the operator at any time and anywhere in the ski resort.
The ticket control system operates under video surveillance, of which we also notify ticket buyers at the entry stations to the lifts and at the RTC Krvavec ticket offices. By purchasing a ticket, the buyer has also acknowledged this fact.
By carrying out video surveillance of ticket control, we do not interfere with the privacy of buyers and users, but merely compare video clips of the passage of individual tickets with each other based on the serial number of the individual ticket, in doing so observing the statutory provisions in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2) and other applicable regulations.
We sell ski tickets exclusively on the so-called KeyCard. The KeyCard is a chip card onto which all of our ski tickets can be loaded electronically. It enables contactless, simpler and faster passage through the electronic control devices when entering the cable lift facilities. When purchasing a ski ticket, a deposit of €3 must be paid for the KeyCard. The deposit is refunded exclusively upon return of an undamaged and properly preserved KeyCard. The card must be clean, without writing, scratches, bends or breaks, and without visible damage such as deep scratches, cracks, holes, deformations or other damage to the surface or the chip. Normal minor signs of use that do not affect the appearance or functioning of the card are not considered damage.
The deposit is not refunded for damaged, written-on, scratched, bent, broken or otherwise improperly preserved KeyCards. The authorised staff of RTC Krvavec decide on the suitability of the card's condition upon return, based on its actual condition. An undamaged KeyCard may be kept by the visitor and reused on the next visit.
By carrying out video surveillance of ticket control, we do not interfere with the privacy of buyers and users, but merely compare video clips of the passage of individual tickets with each other based on the serial number of the individual ticket, in doing so observing the statutory provisions of ZVOP-1 (Personal Data Protection Act).
