Coaches may not exceed a length of 14 m and a height of 3.85 m (with support vehicle up to 4.10 m).
TIP: A support vehicle can be requested free of charge at the toll station.
Two traffic lights at the narrowest points of the Malta high alpine road ensure the safety of our guests. In this area, the road is one way. Bus drivers can request a support vehicle at the toll station free of charge.
The support vehicle will pick you up at the first set of traffic lights and accompany you through the Kehrentunnel up to the Kölnbrein Dam coach park. The support vehicle cannot be pre-booked. Please take this into account when planning.
The drive from the toll station up to the Kölnbrein Dam takes between half an hour and an hour. The waiting time at the first set of traffic lights is 22 minutes at the most and at the second set 10 minutes at the most. Your guests have the opportunity to visit the Maralmbachfall at the first set of traffic lights. Information regarding the waiting time is displayed by the falls. So you won't miss the green light. Please take the traffic light phases into account in your planning so that you arrive at the booked programme points on time.
Once you reach the Kölnbrein Dam, drive past the visitor car park directly to the Berghotel Malta and onto the coach park. This is also where you can find the souvenir shop where the dam tours start.
The group includes at least 15 paying visitors. From this number onwards, the booked package (incl. all services) is free of charge for the bus driver and tour guide! The group offer is only valid for bus tour groups. Individual travellers arriving by car are not considered to be a group.
Groups of 15 or more are kindly requested to register in advance. The maximum permitted group size is 40 people per tour.
From June to September, the dam tours are held daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the hour. In May and October, they are held on request.
Please allow a little more time for your journey. Tours tend to be fully booked on busy days. It is therefore not possible to postpone the time.
Meeting point: Shop, coach park level at Berghotel Malta. Tour takes approx. 1 hour
