1. General

The keycard is a data carrier and enables contactless access to all lanes and lifts at DKM. It can be programmed with new validity data at any time and can therefore be used for several years. The keycard (obligatory for 3-day passes and above) is available at all points of sale for a fee of CHF 5 (no deposit, i.e. no refund of the card fee)

Season-/annual tickets, multi-day passes from 8 days, as well as selective-day passes, all require a photograph. Excluded are winter sport passes purchased from the Ticket-Online-shop which are loaded directly onto a data carrier. It is compulsory to have a receipt from the Ticket-Online-shop and an official/valid identity document in your possession.

At the request of the cashier/cableway/control personnel, the customer must identify himself with valid ID (passport or driver’s licence). KeyTickets, KeyCard, Graubünden Card, Swatch-ID and the purchase confirmation of the Ticket-Online-Shop must also be presented.

4. Further questions

DKM’s rescues service is available in case a ticket holder suffers an injury in the winter sports area. Rescue services are invoiced directly or included in the doctor’s/hospital bill. Additional costs such as ambulance, transport, air rescue etc. can also incur. The patient is responsible for claiming reimbursement from his insurance company.

Summer: In summer there is no rescue service for bikers and hikers. As an exception, the Gotschna Freeride Trail Klosters (see also GTC 5.1.).

DKM recommends that all ticket purchasers arrange for supplemental insurance coverage, such as a cancellation cost insurance, travel accident and travel health insurance, extra return travel insurance, etc.
