Südtirol Guest Pass Gsiesertal-Welsberg-Taisten Card

Q: Does everyone in my group receive their own Guest Pass?

Yes. Every registered guest receives their own digital Guest Pass showing their name and the dates of their stay.

Q: What should I do if I lose my Guest Pass?

Your Guest Pass is digital and can be saved as a PDF or in your phone's wallet. If you lose it, simply ask your accommodation provider to send it to you again.

Q: Can I take my dog with the Guest Pass?

Small animals carried in your arms and guide dogs travel free of charge. Larger dogs require a separate single ticket or Mobilcard. Remember that dogs must wear a muzzle.

Q: Is bicycle transport included in the Guest Pass?

No. You'll need to purchase a separate bicycle day ticket. Bicycle transport is also subject to available space on the train or designated bus service.

Sustainable mobility that pays off.

Car traffic affects not only our valley but also the main routes through the Pustertal Valley, bringing noise, emissions and less peace and quiet for people and nature.

That's why the South Tyrol Guest Pass was introduced. It makes it easy to enjoy your entire holiday without using your own car, giving you free access to South Tyrol's local public transport network.
For us, it's more than a welcome benefit for our guests. It's an important part of our sustainability strategy.

A car-free holiday shouldn't be the exception. We want it to become a natural choice. The Guest Pass makes it easier: no tickets to buy, no searching for parking spaces and no additional emissions from driving your own car.

How to get your Guest Pass

You'll receive your digital South Tyrol Guest Pass – Gsiesertal Valley-Welsberg-Taisten Card after checking in at your accommodation, provided it's one of our participating establishments. If you'd like to use it for your journey here by public transport, you can request it in advance through pre-check-in.

Your digital ticket is valid for your entire stay and can be used as a PDF, saved in your phone's wallet or printed on paper.

How to validate your Guest Pass

At the start of each journey, scan the QR code on your pass at the ticket validator. An audible signal and a green “OK” confirm that your ticket has been validated. When travelling by train, make sure you validate your pass before boarding.
