All that is needed as proof of eligibility is a Family Pass. You can obtain the Vorarlberg Family Pass free of charge from your town hall or municipal office. The family bonus can only be used if there is at least one child on the trip. Persons entered in the Family Pass must produce, on request, photo ID confirming their identity.
