Hochkar Bergbahnen GmbH: Frequently Asked Questions
Who runs skiing at Lackenhof am Oetscher?
Hochkar Bergbahnen GmbH runs it. The former Oetscherlift-Gesellschaft m.b.H. was merged into the company as part of a restructuring backed by the province of Lower Austria, which also keeps the Hochkar lifts under the same roof.
Is the company privately owned?
Not in the way it once was. Hochkar Bergbahnen GmbH came under public influence when the Schroecksnadel group withdrew from Lower Austria and provincial vehicle ecoplus Alpin arranged the share takeover to keep winter operations going.
Does one ticket cover both ski areas?
Hochkar Bergbahnen GmbH publishes prices separately, with Hochkar tariffs on hochkar.com and flexible date-based Lackenhof tickets in the Oetscher web shop. Check both shops for the travel date, because the two areas price independently.
Why does the ownership story matter to a day-tripper?
Because opening dates and investment have moved since the restructuring at Hochkar Bergbahnen GmbH. Season windows in Lackenhof have varied between winters, so verify current lift status and season dates on the operator's snow report page before driving out from Vienna.
