Panorama from the Wildspitze lift

Shopping at the glacier is very limited. At the base station, there is a restaurant that also sells postcards, a small range of souvenirs, sunglasses, confectionery and cigarettes.
At Gamsgarten, there's the Intersport shop and rental, where you can buy ski/snowboard gear, and a little convenience store that sells souvenirs, postcards, snacks and confectionery, sunblock, cigarettes and magazines (in German).
At Eisgrat, the type of shops are the same as for Gamsgarten.

Description:
The rules for slopes behaviour are :
1.Always ski in control - with your behaviour you should not endanger the other participants
2.Adjust your riding speed according to your abilities,the terrain and weather conditions
3.Choose your way respecting the rule that those in front of you have the right of way. You are the one that should take care of not hitting them.
4. Overtaking is allowed by all directions, but at sufficient distance from the others so that you don't endanger them . Be careful especially when overtaking children
5.Avoid standing on spots where you are not seen from above - for example under a hill .
If there is an accident,make sure you put a sign for the ones coming from above to avoid futher collisions.
6.Respect the signs for closed and dangerous areas - they are there for a reason!
7.Dress approprietely ,wear gloves ,UV sunglasses to prevent snow blindness or even better Glacier glasses - DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE WHERE YOU ARE GOING!!!, UV sunscreen even by clowdy weather as 70% of the UV rays are passing through
8. Protect your kid with a helmet , gloves and with wrist protections for snowboarding.
HAVE FUN !!! BE SAFE !!!
