They sound made up. They are just policy.
They are just policy. An Austrian vignette bought tonight may not start tomorrow. EHIC will not get you off the mountain. A Les Arcs pass is not Paradiski. Thirteen checkable rows, no invented quotes.
English is the canonical page. This locale is not indexed.
The short list

3
EHIC will not get you off the mountain

Italy piste insurance is third-party only

Brochure mash-ups are how families buy the wrong ticket. Each row below changes what you buy tomorrow. If a sentence needed a parent quote to land, we cut it.
Fact 1
Consumer online 2-month and annual digital vignettes wait 18 days. The product that can start on the first driving day is the 10-day vignette at the official ASFINAG shop.
Fact 2
Interior Ministry, 12 February 2026: the winter-equipment obligation is real. The 135 euro sanction decree had not been published. Carry 3PMSF or chains. Stop rehearsing the fine.
Fact 3
Your Europe, last checked 15 June 2026: EHIC does not cover mountain rescue or repatriation. Screenshot the travel policy that names those words, or you do not have them.
Fact 4
D.Lgs. 40/2021 Art. 30 is RC for damage to other people on alpine pistes. It is not a rescue policy and not a kids-off-piste policy.
Fact 5
Italy wants a CE helmet on every head, all ages, from 2025/26. New York has no helmet statute. Those two Austrian states never signed on. Put the helmet on. The legal panic can stop.
Fact 6
86 start at 3. 33 start at 4. 12 start at 2. That is a distribution we already published. Confirm the named school. Do not treat kindergarten as ski school.
Fact 7
Official German: NICHT enthalten. The Warth-Schroecken pass is 15 lifts, 62 km, 2.5 days max. Ski Arlberg is the ticket that opens that link.
Fact 8
Official note: used ski tickets cannot be exchanged. An upgrade to Ski Arlberg is not possible. Buy the product you need on morning one.
Fact 9
Grand-Bornand 13. Chatel Stage Freeride 14. Alpe d'Huez 18. Tignes le Lac prints its off-piste camp as adults only. A ski kindergarten is not that product.
Fact 10
Mairie: vacationers go to the ESF garderie. ESF Mini Club from 6 months. Piou-Piou from 3. Third-party sites that open Les Sourires to tourists lose to the Mairie.
Fact 11
Club des Marmottes is in Batiment La Farandole, Les Orres 1800. Ages 6 months to 5. Winter 2026/27 from 19 December. Not at 1650. Not resort-wide.
Fact 12
Classique is Les Arcs / Peisey-Vallandry. Essentiel adds La Plagne. Official 2026/27 table: 71 vs 78 euro for one adult day, 368 vs 412 for six. Buy Essentiel if anyone will ski La Plagne.
Fact 13
Refundable Ikon and Ikon Base. One scan by that date, 50 percent. Two or more, none. Confirm on ikonpass.com. We are not printing a current checkout dollar.
No. That page is the live myth sibling. This page is 13 policy rows we already hold. Read both. Do not treat them as one URL.
Yes, the 10-day digital vignette at shop.asfinag.at, start date equal to the first driving day. The 2-month and annual digital consumer products wait 18 days.
No. Your Europe says it will not help with rescue or repatriation. Italy's mandatory piste insurance is third-party liability.
Only if you bought Pass Essentiel or Premium. Pass Classique is Les Arcs / Peisey-Vallandry. Official 2026/27 adult table: 71 euro vs 78 euro for one day.
No. We hold 141 verified starting ages. 86 start at 3. We will not invent the other 159.
We are not printing one. The March 2026 Lifted page is dated. The refund rule through 15 January 2027 is the fact we hold. Confirm the cart.
