The new Gerlitzen Alpe website: live info, webcams and remaining hours on the 20-hour card

A mountain destination thrives on a clear overview: what's open, what's the weather like, and how many hours are left on the card? The new Gerlitzen website answers all of that at a glance.

Gerlitzen Alpe in Carinthia has a new website: lifts, huts, weather and webcams are connected live, and you can check the remaining hours on your 20-hour card online at any time. That way you can see at a glance what's going on up on the mountain.

Why a mountain website has to do more than "look nice" today

There's a lot on offer at the Gerlitzen: several lifts, many huts, different activities, and different conditions depending on the day. That's exactly why visitors often ask the same questions:

  • Which lifts are open?
  • Which huts are open today, and until when?
  • What's the weather like up top right now?
  • And very practically: how many hours are left on my 20-hour card?

If you have to search through several pages or call someone to find out, it quickly turns into guesswork. The new website tackles exactly that: everything up to date, everything at a glance.

Kicking off in summer, with a clear goal

Together with Infrastil, we started the build in summer with a clear ambition: more modern, easier to navigate and optimized for smartphone, tablet and desktop. You notice it most in the navigation: less searching, more direct answers.

The highlight: check the remaining hours on your 20-hour card online

A feature with real added value: you can check the remaining hours on your 20-hour season card online. That turns a good idea into a genuinely useful everyday tool, especially handy when you want to plan spontaneously.

Live data that really helps

What makes the new Gerlitzen website so strong is the combination of automatically connected live information:

  • Lift status: what's open?
  • Hut info: what's open for business?
  • Weather data: what does it look like right now?
  • Webcams at the lifts and huts, so you can see for yourself straight away

The result: an overview around the clock, without endless clicking around, whether you're planning at home or already on your way.

Why this is a big step digitally

A good website for a destination is like good signage on the mountain: it removes uncertainty, saves time and makes decisions easier.

When information is live, comes together cleanly and works well on mobile, you get exactly what guests want: easy planning without the hassle.
