1. Before using the lifts, clients must equip themselves with a valid transport ticket. Type, validity and rates of the transport tickets are established by the company and published on the official website monterosaski.eu and available at the ticket offices. The price of the daily and several-day Monterosa Ski pass is dynamic: the rate is calculated by the system and may change depending on different calculations and variables. Depending on the seasonality, the minimum price is set at Euro 38,00 and the maximum at Euro 65,00: these reference rates are the ones for online purchase that is, at any time, cheaper than the purchase at the ticket office which includes a supplement of Euro 5.00.

3. The Monterosa Ski several consecutive-day passes rate is dynamic and the price is the result of the sum of the daily rates to which is applied a percentage of discount. For the stations in which is applied a fix rate, for several consecutive-day passes that straddle two different periods the rate applied is the one corresponding to the first day of validity. This rule is not applied in the ski resorts where are available several consecutive-day passes for the workdays.

In the event of suspension of the service for one of the above mentioned reasons, no reimbursement is due, unless foreseen by the law.
Particularly, referring to seasonal and annual passes, the client assumes the risk that the season can be shorter than foreseen, being this risk compensated by the advantage of using the lifts at a flat rate.
