Detailed description (English): The Südtirol Alto Adige Guest Pass has been gradually introduced since 2023 and is now included in the cost of accommodation at 97% of all lodging establishments and gives guests unlimited access to South Tyrol’s extensive public transport network: regional trains, buses, ski and hiking shuttles, and selected cable cars. Every guest contributes to financing this system—whether they use the pass or not—helping maintain a dense, high-quality network even in rural areas with intercity busses up to every 15 minutes.
The pass makes holidays car-free and stress-free, reducing traffic and emissions while preserving South Tyrol’s landscapes. It also ensures fast boarding, as guests already have a valid ticket and don’t need to buy one from the bus driver. This synergy between tourism and public transport strengthens sustainable mobility: more visitors using buses and trains means more buses for everyone living in rural areas.
South Tyrol actively promotes arriving by public transport, making the journey part of the experience. Beyond mobility, the pass often includes free or discounted entry to museums, cultural sites, and events, enriching every stay. Personalized and valid for the entire visit, the Südtirol Alto Adige Guest Pass is more than a ticket—it’s a commitment to sustainable tourism and mobility.
The Südtirol Alto Adige Guest Pass has been completely digitalised as of 01.01.2025 and is now available exclusively as a digital ticket based on a QR code.
Detailed description (original language): DE
Der Südtirol Guest Pass ist im Übernachtungspreis von 97% aller Beherbergungsbetriebe enthalten und ermöglicht die unbegrenzte Nutzung von Regionalzügen, Bussen, Ski- und Wanderbussen sowie ausgewählten Seilbahnen. Der Tourismus trägt so zur Finanzierung der Öffis bei und dank guter Nutzung gibt es bis in jedes Tal eine hohe Frequenz der Busdienste bis hin zu einem 15-Minuten-Takt. Der Pass macht den Urlaub auto- und stressfrei, reduziert Verkehr und Emissionen und sorgt für schnelles Einsteigen ohne Ticketkauf an Bord. Mehr Gäste in den Öffis bedeuten mehr Verbindungen für alle. Südtirol fördert zudem die Anreise mit Bus und Bahn. Eintritte zu Museen und Veranstaltungen sind enthalten oder vergünstigt. Der Guest Pass ist ein Bekenntnis zu nachhaltigem Tourismus und Mobilität.

L'Alto Adige Guest Pass è incluso nel prezzo del soggiorno nel 97% delle strutture ricettive e consente l’uso illimitato di treni regionali, autobus, skibus, bus escursionistici e alcune funivie. Il turismo contribuisce al finanziamento del sistema, garantendo frequenze elevate anche nelle valli più remote, fino a ogni 15 minuti. Il pass rende la vacanza senza auto e stress, riduce traffico ed emissioni e permette salite rapide a bordo dei mezzi pubblici. Più ospiti sui mezzi pubblici significano più collegamenti per tutti. L’Alto Adige promuove anche l’arrivo in treno o bus. Spesso il pass include ingressi gratuiti o scontati a musei ed eventi. È un impegno per un turismo e una mobilità sostenibili.
