Best Ski amadé Ticket Options in Austria (2026/27)

By Best:in Editorial Team · Updated September 2026

For most visitors the Ski amadé multi-day ticket is the one to buy: any pass valid for two days or more opens all 25 resorts, up to 760 km of slopes and around 270 lifts. Day tickets stay valid only in the region where you buy them. As of September 2026 pricing is dynamic via the Online Early Booking Bonus, with main season running 19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027.

Best Ski amadé Ticket Options in Austria (2026/27), ranked

1.

Ski amadé multi-day ticket

This is the default ticket for a ski week. From two days upward the pass stops being regional and covers every open lift in Ski amadé: 25 resorts, five regions, up to 760 km of piste. Days must be consecutive, and the half-day cut-off is 12:00, so a 6.5-day pass can start on an afternoon. Rates for 2026/27 are published as a download and split into a main season band (19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027) and cheaper shoulder weeks.

Best for: Full ski weeks

2.

Ski amadé ALL-IN Card White

The winter season pass covers all member lifts from 10 October 2026 to 2 May 2027, which includes autumn glacier days on the Dachstein before the valley resorts open. Repeat buyers matter here: anyone who held a White or Gold card in 2024/25 or 2025/26 gets a loyalty bonus of EUR 100 for adults, EUR 50 for U25 and EUR 30 for youth and children, redeemable only at the moment of purchase.

Best for: Locals and repeat visitors

3.

SuperSkiCard Premium

The wider alliance card: for 2026/27 it lists up to 2,843 km of slopes, more than 900 lifts and 88 ski resorts across 23 regions in Salzburg and Tyrol, valid 10 October 2026 to 2 May 2027. The headline entitlement is 15 days of use, though network members currently allow holders to keep riding beyond that. A photo is required, and the KeyCard deposit runs from EUR 2.00 to EUR 5.00.

Best for: Multi-region road trips

4.

Ski amadé day ticket

Cheapest entry point and the most misunderstood product in the range. A ticket valid for up to one day works only in the regional ski area you selected, for example Zauchensee-Flachauwinkl-Kleinarl or Snow Space Salzburg, not across the whole alliance. Hour tickets sit alongside it. During partial operation (until 10 December 2026 and from 5 April 2027) day tickets undercut multi-day rates, so short early-season trips are cheaper day by day.

Best for: Single days and weekend trips

5.

Ski amadé ALL-IN Card Gold

A twelve-month version of the season pass, valid 10 October 2026 to 8 October 2027, so it carries winter skiing plus spring, summer and autumn cable car rides including sports equipment transport under each lift operator's rules. It earns and accepts the same loyalty bonus as the White card (EUR 100 adult, EUR 50 U25, EUR 30 youth and child). Worth it only if you also hike or bike in the same five regions.

Best for: Year-round mountain users

6.

Ski amadé ALL-IN Card White Young Family

A fare variant rather than a separate card: families with a non-skiing toddler under three (born 2024 or later) can buy one White card that the two parents use alternately, which is the only shared pass in a range that is otherwise strictly personal. Two catches: it is sold at lift ticket offices only, not online, and the EUR 100 loyalty bonus does not apply. A photo is required at purchase.

Best for: Parents taking turns on the slopes

What does a Ski amadé ticket actually cover?

Ski amadé is a ticket alliance, not one ski area. A single pass covers 25 ski resorts in five regions: Salzburger Sportwelt, Gastein, Hochkönig, Großarltal and Schladming-Dachstein. The alliance quotes up to 760 kilometres of slopes, between 260 and 270 lift installations and roughly 250 mountain huts, spread across Salzburg and Styria.

The rule that trips up first-time buyers is the validity threshold. Only passes valid for two days or more open the whole network. A ticket valid for up to one day stays tied to the regional ski area you selected, so a Saturday ticket bought in Flachau does not include Schladming's Planai. The 760 kilometres are also not one linked circuit: Snow Space Salzburg states that its own 210 km are skiable end to end, while the rest needs a car, bus or train. Ski amadé lists around 5,900 accommodation providers and roughly 107,436 guest beds inside those five regions.

How much does a Ski amadé ticket cost in 2026/27?

There is no single fixed figure any more. Ski amadé sells through the Online Early Booking Bonus, where the price moves with the season window, the date of purchase and demand. Day and multi-day passes for winter 2026/27 went on sale from 31 August 2026. Checked on 15 September 2026, the official day-ticket rate card for 2026/27 was still flagged as pending on skiamade.com, while the multi-day rate sheet was already available as a download.

Two date bands set the base rate. Main season runs 19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027. Cheaper shoulder rates apply from the season start (27 November 2026 in Gastein) to 18 December 2026, and again from 27 March 2027 to the end of the season. Gastein also flags extra discount windows from 11 to 18 December 2026 and 27 March to 4 April 2027. Two add-ons are fixed: the cancellation guarantee costs EUR 3.00 per pass per day, and the KeyCard deposit is EUR 3.00.

Which Ski amadé ticket fits your trip length?

One day in one valley: buy the regional day or hour ticket. Two days or more: the multi-day pass is the only product that unlocks all 25 resorts, and days must be consecutive, with the half-day boundary at 12:00 noon. That noon rule cuts both ways, so entering a lift at 11:59 on day one burns a full day and your last day then ends at midday.

Roughly ten or more ski days per winter is where the ALL-IN Card White starts to make sense, because it runs 10 October 2026 to 2 May 2027 and covers autumn glacier operation as well. If you also ride cable cars in summer, the Gold card extends the same access to 8 October 2027. If your winter includes Tyrol as well as Salzburg, the SuperSkiCard Premium adds up to 2,843 km across 23 regions.

What do families need to know about Ski amadé fares?

Age brackets for winter 2026/27 are fixed by year of birth: adult from 2007 and earlier, youth 2008 to 2010, child 2011 to 2020. Children born in 2021 and later fall outside the standard brackets and are handled by minicard or free-of-charge rules that vary by region. Snow Space Salzburg, for example, issues the free minis ticket at its own lift offices only, with photo and ID, and not online.

Two discounts are worth planning around. Buy passes for one parent and the two older siblings for the same validity period and the third child plus younger siblings ski free, subject to proof of family relationship and the same main residence. Filzmoos also reports weekend rates for children and youths across Ski amadé at up to 35 percent below the standard fare. Parents of a toddler born 2024 or later can share one Young Family season card.

How do you buy and collect a Ski amadé ticket?

  1. Pick the duration before the region

    Decide the number of days first, because duration decides coverage. Anything up to one day is regional only. From two days the same pass covers all five regions and 25 resorts. Snow Space Salzburg sells from 1.5 days upward, and a multi-day pass of that length already counts as a full Ski amadé pass. Half days always break at 12:00 noon.

  2. Book early in the Online Ticketshop

    Buy at tickets.skiamade.com. Sales for winter 2026/27 opened on 31 August 2026, and the Online Early Booking Bonus rewards earlier purchases with lower prices than the lift office rate. Prices shift with demand, so the quote you see is date-specific. Season cards, multi-day passes, selected day tickets and the SuperSkiCard Premium all sit in the same shop.

  3. Add the cancellation guarantee at checkout

    The cancellation guarantee costs EUR 3.00 per ski pass per day and lets you cancel the entire pass without giving a reason up to two days before validity starts. It cannot be added after the order is completed, and it is available on multi-day passes and selected day tickets only. Without it, online passes are not cancellable.

  4. Reuse or order a KeyCard

    Every ticket sits on a KeyCard carrying a EUR 3.00 deposit. Existing customers can top up last season's card in the shop by entering the ticket number, or reactivate it, so there is no ticket office queue on arrival. The my Ski amadé Friends Club Friends Card works as both KeyCard and shop login. SuperSkiCard deposits range from EUR 2.00 to EUR 5.00.

  5. Handle photo and on-site-only fares in person

    Season passes are personal and non-transferable, and photos for season, 10-day flexi and 8 to 14 day passes are taken at the ticket office. U25 new customers receive an email voucher and exchange it at a Ski amadé ticket office with official photo ID, paying the EUR 3.00 deposit there. The Young Family card is sold on site only. Loyalty bonus codes must be entered during payment.

What are the alternatives to a Ski amadé ticket?

The obvious step up is the SuperSkiCard Premium, sold through the same shop. For 2026/27 it lists up to 2,843 km of slopes, more than 900 lifts and 88 ski resorts in 23 regions across Salzburg and Tyrol, valid 10 October 2026 to 2 May 2027 with a 15-day entitlement that members currently extend voluntarily. Ski amadé's own page still shows the previous season figures of 2,750 km and 22 regions, so check the shop rather than the brochure.

The step down is staying regional. If you ski one valley for two or three days, the local day tickets in Zauchensee-Flachauwinkl-Kleinarl, Radstadt-Altenmarkt or Snow Space Salzburg can beat the alliance rate, especially during partial operation before 10 December 2026 and after 4 April 2027, when Gastein notes that day tickets are cheaper than multi-day passes. Single-resort alternatives outside the alliance include Ischgl and Ski Arlberg.
