Special exhibitions 2012: BEYOND SEEING – Art forges ties between the blind and the sighted (25 March to 08 July 2012) One rule generally holds true in galleries and museums: Don’t touch! But with these works of art it’s different. In this exhibition, art can be experienced in another – mostly interactive – way. Depending on the piece, you will be able to touch, hear, smell and sometimes even taste the exhibits. The sighted can actually get a “picture” of what the world of a blind person “looks” like. BETWEEN REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING – Finiteness and Eternity (14 July to 04 November 2012) Birth, life and death, remembering, fading and forgetting: the limits and the in-betweens. This is the theme of this exhibition. Everything has an expiry date. No exceptions. And at the end? What then?

Trautenfels Castle is enthroned on a rocky outcropping at the foot of the Grimming. It was here that a castle by the name of Neuhaus was first mentioned in 1261. In the 17th century, the building was remodeled by Count Siegmund Friedrich von Trauttmansdorff in the style of the Baroque. The high-quality frescoes were created by Carpoforo Tencalla, the stucco work by Alessandro Sereni. Since the structure underwent thorough rehabilitation work in 1992, visitors are also surprised by modern architectural elements in the midst of this historic building. The regional heritage museum housed at Trautenfels Castle presents the cultural and natural history of the Styrian Ennstal and Ausseerland regions in a series of 13 kaleidoscope-like rooms. Special Exhibition 2012 The Grim Mountain “Mons Styriae altissimus” Only a few mountain edifices in our Alps create such deep, lasting memories as the Grimming. It rises powerfully from the valley floor, first in the form of gentle grassy hillsides up to a broad fringe of deciduous and evergreen forests, but then steeply and precipitously with its fields of scree and rocky cliffs. It stands there alone, giving it the appearance of an extraordinarily tall mountain. An impression reflected in its medieval title of “Mons Styriae altissimus”. Accessible to people with mobility limitations and those with learning disabilities. 43 Free entry with the Sommercard: Admission to the Nickel Museum Dates and Times: 30 May until mid October, every Wednesday and Friday 10:00 a.m. to 02:00 p.m. MUSEUMS Directions: CAR: Schladming – Rohrmoos – Obertal – Holdalm (Valley Bus: Planai Olympic Stadium – Rathausplatz – Schladming railway station – Lendplatz – Rohrmoos – Obertal) GPS: 47°19’1,85”N - 13°41’18,64”E Contact: 8971 Rohrmoos-Untertal, Obertal Straße Tel. +43 (0) 3687/22777-22, www.schladming.at Important Info & Tips: The Nickel Museum is a giant “walkable showcase” housing a permanent exhibition which impressively documents the mining tradition of the Schladming region.

TERMS & CONDITIONS Definition All persons who have lawfully acquired the Sommercard have the right to take advantage of the services offered by all-inclusive partner businesses at no additional charge. The Sommercard allows all people who are staying at any of the Card’s participating lodging establishments during the Sommercard season, and who are registered with an officially designated registration form, to take full advantage of the stipulated services offered by Sommercard partner businesses. The services are specified and listed in the brochure “Card Brochure 2012”. In addition, there are also discounted services (Bonus Services), which are also compiled in this same brochure. Scope of Services/Liability Disclaimer All Sommercard partner establishments listed in the brochure in question have obligated themselves to make available to holders of the Sommercard all of their advertised Sommercard services, both with regards to time and quantity, in accordance with and with respect to their own general conditions of carriage and business, this during their usual hours of business and to their full extent. Holders of the Sommercard understand and accept that the operating times of some partners, primarily due to weather- or season-related circumstances, are not always identical with the full time frame of the Card season. With some business, there may be long waiting times due to capacity-related reasons. The holders of a Sommercard declare their agreement with the listed opening times, any and all access restrictions, as well as with the maximum capacity as stated by participating establishments. Holders waive any and all damage claims when, whether for operational reasons, or due to no fault of the service provider, the services offered cannot be provided, either in part or in whole. Furthermore, the service providers are liable for gross negligence and premeditation, but not for slight negligence. In addition, no liability exists for any accompanying clothing or other accompanying valuables. Holders of the Sommercard furthermore understand and accept that the ARGE Schladming-Dachstein Card is entitled to end its agreement with the individual Card service providers if there is important cause to do so, even during the current season. No claims of whatever kind may be asserted as a consequence of such action. Conditions for Issue of the Sommercard: The participating lodging establishment is obligated to draw the guest’s attention to the Sommercard, regardless of the length of his stay. A guest staying at a participating lodging establishment receives the Sommercard from his host for the length of his stay. Precondition for issuance of the Sommercard is that the guest, in accordance with legal statutes, has registered with the establishment for the duration of the stay. The Sommercard must be signed on the reverse side by the guest, at which point the Card becomes valid. Non-Transferability/Loss The Sommercard is non transferable. The Sommercard is only valid when accompanied by a photo ID. The Sommercard may only be used by the person whose name and identification number are noted on the Card or stored on the chip. In the event that the Sommercard is not utilized, no reimbursement will be made. Should the Card by lost, the holder will be charged € 3.00 for issue of a new one. A lost Card immediately becomes invalid. 168 Validity The Card season for 2012 extends from 25 May until 14 October. The Sommercard is valid during this time period. Rates The Sommercard cannot be purchased on the open market. Only those who stay in one of our participating lodging establishments and who have officially registered as hotel guests in accordance with applicable Styrian law, have a right to this Card. Children Small Children: As per the rate schedule for the 2012 season, “Small Children” are those persons born in 2007 or younger. Usage To receive the benefits of the Card, the Card holder must present his Sommercard. The service provider will check the Card with respect to validity and identity, either with authorization equipment, or merely by visually checking the Card details with regards to Card number and the name of the holder. The Card holder is obliged to present a valid photo ID if so requested. Failure to do so may result in his being denied full services. Damage In the event of damage to or technical problems with the Sommercard, the Card or tourist business will exchange the Card at no cost. Misuse In the event of misuse or any suspicion of misuse, participating Sommercard partners are entitled and obliged to confiscate the Card without compensation. In the event of misuse or well-founded suspicion of misuse of the Card, a formal complaint will be lodged. The Card holder is liable for misuse of the Card by third parties. Theft or loss of the Card obliges the holder to report the incident promptly to ARGE SchladmingDachstein-Card or the Schladming-Dachstein Marketing GmbH by calling +43 (0) 3687/23310. There exists no right to replacement of the Card. Liability Disclaimer with respect to the ARGE Schladming-Dachstein-Card Holders of the Sommercard accept and understand that the SchladmingDachstein Marketing GmbH and the ARGE Schladming-Dachstein-Card are solely responsible for the transaction between holders of the Sommercard and the service providers and the participating lodging establishments. TERMS & CONDITIONS Terms & Conditions Holders of the Sommercard waive any conceivable claim with respect to warranty or damages against the Schladming-Dachstein Marketing GmbH or the ARGE Schladming-Dachstein-Card, regardless of whether the service provider or participating lodging establishment is blamable for damages or not. Let it be clearly noted that – in so far as it may come to an incident of liability – neither the ARGE Schladming-Dachstein-Card nor the Schladming-Dachstein Marketing GmbH is liable for such damages, the more so since neither the service providers nor the participating lodging establishments are adjuncts of the Schladming-Dachstein Marketing GmbH. Similarly, holders of the Sommercard may assert no claim for damages against the ARGE Schladming-Dachstein-Card or the SchladmingDachstein Marketing GmbH in the event that any services listed in the brochure are not discharged by partner businesses. Jurisdiction For all disputes resulting from use of the Sommercard, as well as any claims with respect to damages or warrantee, let it be so stipulated that exclusive jurisdiction is held by the responsible Schladming courts and that solely Austrian laws will apply. 169 sive!* inklu s of 1 ay with st ! r more night o * Only at one of our over 800 “Card Partner” establishments!
