Thunderstorms

Water skiing operation takes place in any weather – exceptions are thunderstorm breaks.

A thunderstorm usually lasts 20 minutes, during this time the track operation is stopped. It is safe to stay in our launch houses even during thunderstorms.
The time of the stop will be added to the back of tickets and cable car rentals (if operationally possible) or the time will be reimbursed proportionally.

A thunderstorm is always strictly local, many thunderstorms pass to the north or south. Therefore, an exact forecast is not possible.
