Corona in Austria: Party tourists in St. Anton celebrate après-ski without permission
The well-known winter sports resort
St. Anton
developed into a destination for
party tourists
.
“They come under the guise of looking for work,” said Mayor Helmut Mall, explaining the approach of the mostly young people.
Despite the mandatory
Corona quarantine *
, many of them traveled from Germany, Scandinavia or Great Britain - and were later to be found on the ski slope.
The
mayor is
anything but enthusiastic about
this development
.
"We don't want that," he clarified.
In total, Mall suspects more than 100 party tourists who are
not really looking for a job
.
Particularly bold: "Apparently tips are circulating on the Internet on how to
bypass bans
and get to St. Anton unmolested, namely by train from Zurich," said the mayor of the
Tyrolean daily
.
Corona in Austria: landlords accept guests despite the ban on accommodation
He was equally outraged by landlords who
accept guests
despite the
ban on
accommodation - and apparently give up second homes to young Danes, British and Swedes.
Mall: "There are photos where 30 to 40 party guests can be seen." The local
police also
confirmed that
après-
ski takes place at hay barn in the ski area.
In an information leaflet from the municipality, the mayor made it clear that "such facts and figures" cannot be tolerated.
He fears a blanket denigration of the place.
The deputy district captain Siegmund Geiger has now announced strict controls: “The police have already been commissioned.” The après-ski hustle and bustle endangers the place, which has “no corona cases” so far.
