Ski hut prices in Austria are exploding: yeast dumplings are almost a luxury item. Prices have not only risen in the catering industry, but visitors are also having to dig deeper into their pockets for lift tickets.

For the products tested, the price differences from area to area can be up to 132 percent. A plate of spaghetti Bolognese in Flachau costs an impressive 16.90 euros, while in Saalbach-Fieberbrunn you only pay 8.90 euro for it.
