Security measures in Monarchia Parkvas a result of the COVID-19 virus

Valid from 01.10.2020, last update 21.02.2022.

Austria eases its Covid measures from 19 February

From 19 February, "2-G" is being replaced by "3-G" (vaccinated, recovered or PCR test) at restaurants/hotels/ski lifts in all Austrian provinces except for Vienna where "2-G" remains.
On 5 March, all Covid protection measures will be lifted except for mandatory FFP2 masks on public transports and in essential shops (supermarkets, post offices, banks, pharmacies)
For entering Austria, "3-G" will - presumably - apply from 22 February.

The Austrian Covid rules from 19 February to 4 March

• "3-G" (fully vaccinated with at least 2 jabs or recovered) is required to enter all types of accommodation, restaurants, diners, cafés, cultural institutions, and leisure centres. It also applies when using ski lifts/cable cars, body related services (such as hair dressers) or when attending events (children under the age of 12 are exempt - exception: Vienna).
• At museums, you no longer need to proof your status, but you are required to wear an FFP2 mask.
• FFP2 masks remain mandatory in all public indoor areas, e. g. shops, public transport, restaurants when not seated etc.
• 2-dose-vaccinations are valid for 180 days (210 days for under 18 year olds). After that a booster jab is required, which is valid for 270 days. Attention: The 1-dose vaccine by Johnson & Johnson requires a booster since 3 January 2022. 
• Restaurants/cafés/inns have a curfew at Midnight
• Bars and clubs remain closed until 5 March when après-ski will be possible again as well.
• Teenagers from the age of 12 who are not yet (fully) vaccinated can gain "3-G" status with the so-called "Holiday Ninja Pass".

Winter in the Monarchia Park is safer than before...

... since, in addition to the strict Austrian regulations and recommendations, there are a number of other reasons to spend your summer holiday in Monarchia Park:

• our apartments are located in a small dead-end village, in Lachtal, so there is no through traffic. You don’t have to take a car to indulge in your favourite winter sports
• all apartments have an own, well-equipped kitchen
• you will not come into contact with other guests in the apartment; the staircase is cleaned on a daily basis, and the handles are disinfected, as well
• there are neither central air conditioning or ventilation equipment in our apartment houses which can be a potential source of the spread of viruses and pathogens
• lifts can be operated safely, there are no closed cabins or lifts, thus ventilation is provided continuously
• the lift company of Lachtal is also preparing for the opening with great care; continuously updated information can be obtained from here.

… in addition, hiking and enjoying nature provides relaxation, recreation and it strengthens your immune system for the future.
