Introduction Servus! Hello!
Welcome to the Hallstein Ski Resort in Winter Resort Simulator Season 2! A 6 km² game world, spanning mountains and valley, is just waiting to be explored! There’s so much for you to do here in Hallstein: grooming the slopes, operating ropeways, and managing the daily routine at your own resort. New vehicles, ropeways, and improved graphics allow you to immerse yourself in the world of Winter Resort Simulator.
By default, the game starts with a tutorial that explains the basic features and processes of the game. During the course of the game you will encounter several tutorials designed to familiarize you with your surroundings, the vehicles, and the ropeways. You will find an overview of the controls at the end of this manual.
You don’t have to take care of the resort all by yourself: grab some friends and join forces in multiplayer mode! So, what are you waiting for?
We’re delighted that you’re playing Winter Resort Simulator Season 2 and hope you have lots of fun in the snow-covered world of Hallstein!
Features We’re now going to introduce you to the countless features of Winter Resort Simulator Season 2. We’ll be taking a look at the different options Hallstein has to offer for managing your ski resort. This not only includes different types of lifts, of course, but also vehicles for various purposes. The game will also keep you on your toes with a variety of missions. As we all know, a ski resort (almost) never sleeps!
Snow Groomers
In Winter Resort Simulator Season 2, you have the possibility to whip your slopes into shape. There are snow groomers from two different manufactures available; PistenBully and Prinoth are on hand with various models to help you groom the slopes. There are five snow groomers available in the game: three PistenBully models (100, 600, and 600 W), and two Prinoth models (Leitwolf and Leitwolf W). These vehicles are used to prepare the slopes for your skiers. Each vehicle has a blade and a tiller to clear snow and level out bumps. You can purchase snow groomers from the shop in the main menu. After purchasing them, they’ll appear in the shop’s parking lot where they can be collected. So, lower your blade and tiller, and hit the slopes!
Ropeways Of course, your guests don’t have to climb the steep mountainside on foot to be able to take their turns on the freshly groomed snow. Across its two maps, Winter Resort Simulator provides you with a total of 13 ropeways to get your visitors to the top of the mountain. You’ll find a variety of ropeway types on the map that you can put into operation depending on your needs and wishes. In editor mode, you can even plan and build your very own ropeway!
Each ropeway works and is operated just like its real-life counterpart. That might sound overwhelming at first, but don’t worry. For each of your ropeways you will find a tutorial, either in the overview menu, or directly in the command room on the control touch screen (the ‘HMI’ can be seen in the picture below), located on the ropeway documentation page. This will guide you through its controls step by step. Last, but not least, in the workshop you will find further ropeway types and other exciting items that will make playing the game even more fun!
Transport Vehicles Also indispensable are the vehicles that can transport you, your friends, and even goods. Winter Resort Simulator Season 2 has a number of different vehicles for this purpose, which you can use according to your needs. Road-going vehicles, such as the Marmotta Hazard and Venture, will get you quickly from A to B by road. However, if you need to take a shortcut across the snowy terrain, the Marmotta Vattenmask and Marmotta Tiger will show you the kind of power they possess. They allow you to transport people and goods across impassable terrain, so they are essential companions in everyday life at a ski resort. Don’t forget: you’re free to change the color of your vehicles so that they match the overall design of your ski resort.
Snow Guns If the weather’s not playing along, your snow guns are always on hand to spread snow on the slopes! The TechnoAlpin TR-10 produces fresh, powder snow, ensuring that the day’s skiing goes smoothly. Use the blade of a snow groomer to position it correctly and let the snow fall on your slopes. The TechnoAlpin TR-10 can be purchased from the shop in the main menu.
Missions Of course, everyday life on a ski resort brings with it a range of challenges. The new missions will demand a lot of you, including getting deliveries from A to B on time to earn additional income. The game will constantly offer you missions via an on-screen message, which will include useful information about the task at hand, which vehicle you require, and what needs to be transported. Of course, you can reject any mission—but remember that there’s a reward for every task you complete. If you would like to receive more or fewer mission offers, you can adjust the frequency in the gameplay settings in the main menu ([ESC] key).
A Look at the Economic System In the career mode of Winter Resort Simulator Season 2, your objective is to gradually expand the small ski resort of Hallstein. To achieve this, all ropeways should be operational and the satisfaction of your guests ensured. To expand your resort, you can rent or buy new facilities, slopes, and ropeways. It’s important to keep an eye on the wait times for your facilities. The weather is also a major influence on the success of your ski resort. Always pay attention to the forecasts and react appropriately to different weather conditions. The better you coordinate everything, the more famous your resort will become! You will find more detailed information about the economic system later in this manual.
Editor Mode and Modding Winter Resort Simulator Season 2 contains a free editor mode where you can give your creativity free rein. Design a ski resort completely according to your own wishes, edit the terrain, shape the slopes, and plan the course of your lifts. Move all objects freely on the map and design a new world. With the modding interface it is even possible to share your creations with the entire Winter Resort Simulator community. Similarly, you can also download maps designed by other players from the Steam Workshop and try them out yourself. Using this interface, you can also add new content to your game, such as ropeways, vehicles, and many other things. If the interest and creativity grab you, you can even build objects for Winter Resort Simulator Season 2 yourself and make them available to the entire community!
Multiplayer In Season 2 of Winter Resort Simulator, it is now possible to play together with your friends. All you have to do is host a game of your own, which your friends can then join, or you can join an existing game and grab the nearest available snow groomer! If you wish to join a game, choose “Multiplayer” from the main menu and then select “Join game”.
Shop Parking Lot
If you reset a vehicle or purchase a new one, it will be placed in the parking lot in the center of the map, below the Sonnenhütte. You can purchase new vehicles via the “Shop” option in the main menu ([ESC] key), provided you have enough money available.
Free Camera Mode In the mode selection menu ([Backspace], see image below), you can choose between three different movement modes. In addition to first-person mode, which is activated by default, you also have the option of a free camera mode. To switch to it, click the camera icon.
You can adjust the movement speed of the free camera in the overview menu ([ESC] key). To end free camera mode, click on the game character icon in the mode selection menu.
Skiing Saving the best for last: you can leave your own tracks in the snow! In skiing mode, you can take a turn on the freshly groomed slopes or off-piste. In many instances, skiing is the fastest and most practical way of moving around in the game.
You can activate skiing mode by clicking on the skier icon in the mode selection menu ([Backspace]).
It is recommended that you do not start skiing mode until you are already on a slope or in open terrain with only a slight incline. You can then push off briefly with [Q] and [E], but you won’t have to push very far.
When you arrive down at the Valley Station of a ropeway, you can either take off your skis via the mode selection menu ([Backspace]) and walk, or you can take the chairlift back to the start of the run.
To end skiing mode, press [Backspace] again to enter the mode selection menu and click on the icon of a person. This will switch you back to first-person mode.
Overview Menu
The overview menu is an essential part of Winter Resort Simulator. As the director and manager of your ski resort, you have to stay up to speed at all times! A lot of information is concisely summarized for you in the overview menu.
1. Weather: Includes a relatively reliable weather forecast for the days ahead, and predicts weather conditions and precipitation.
2. Ropeways: Here you will find a summary with utilization, wait times, and guest numbers of your ropeways. Additionally, you can also manage your ropeway and, for example, have it automatically fed or garaged.
3. Facilities: Shows how well-utilized each facility is. It is your job to ensure that there’s always enough facilities open to keep wait times low.
4. Slopes: Shows how heavily used each slope is and which slopes you should groom. If you click on a slope, the costs of having an employee automatically groom the slope will be displayed.
5. Investments: You will see all the ropeways, facilities, and slopes available to you in the resort on a single list. You can rent, purchase or, if necessary, sell them again at any time.
6. Snowmaking: Displays all snowmakers available to you and allows you to control them remotely.
7. Messages: You are regularly informed about successes or problems at the resort.
8. Guests: This menu shows you the fruits of your labor: how satisfied your guests are. You will also see which factors influence this and what you can improve. You can change your prices here, too.
9. Loans: You start your business debt-free, but with little remaining capital. Therefore, it could prove useful to obtain additional funds by taking out loans. How successful your resort is increases or decreases your credit limit.
10. Financials: Here you’ll see where your income is coming from and what you are spending money on. Additionally, the balance sheet will show you a breakdown of your assets and your level of debt.
11. Vehicles: Shows you a map-based overview of all the vehicles you own. If a vehicle has gotten stuck, this is where you can select and reset it. In addition, you can sell old vehicles and recover part of the purchase price, depending on its age.
12. Shop: This is where you can expand your fleet with new vehicles. You will find all the vehicles available to you in Winter Resort Simulator listed in different categories.
Ropeways
There are eight detailed ropeways with numerous technical details for you to operate in Winter Resort Simulator Season 2. In the game, it’s your task to work your way up and gradually expand the resort to its full size.
All the ropeways in the game have been modeled true to the originals, thanks to the kind support of the Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group.
Season 1 Ropeways
Dorfbahn In Season 1 in Hallstein at the start of the game you own the Dorfbahn. This is the feeder line for the resort, connecting the village of Hallstein with the actual ski resort. If your guests want to start their day skiing in the morning, they all have to take the Dorfbahn first.
The Dorfbahn only appears on the map of Hallstein from Season 1.
Technical details
Drive Mountain Station
Number of towers 10
Rope gauge 6.40 m
Kristallexpress The Kristallexpress is a tricable gondola detachable, or 3S for short, a state-of-the-art ropeway type. Its majestic-looking gondolas glide on two support cables and are pulled by a haul rope at speeds of up to 7.5 meters per second (27 km/h).
Technical details
Number of towers 3
Sonnenbahn The Sonnenbahn is the heart of the Hallstein Ski Resort, especially for families. Up to eight passengers can be seated simultaneously on one chair. Its high capacity in combination with the particularly wide slopes makes it possible to accommodate many additional guests with just a single lift and effectively reduces wait times.
Technical details
Number of towers 9
Rope gauge 7.70 m
Falkeneckbahn The Falkeneckbahn is a little more leisurely. The ropeway starts at the lowest point of the resort and leads up through a picturesque forest to the Dorfbahn Mountain Station, the resort’s transport hub.
In Season 2, the Falkeneckbahn is your first installation, from which you can then build your ski resort.
Technical details
Garaging Loop track parking with an additional track (Valley Station)
Number of towers 13
Rope gauge 6.40 m
Stubhornbahn The Stubhornbahn is by far the most relaxed run that is aimed at professionals. With black and red slopes, it is especially appealing for demanding skiers. There is often no wait time on the longest chairlift in the resort, making the Stubhornbahn ideal for repeat runs. As the only lift in the area, the system is fed backwards in the morning, which makes for some interesting scenes and views in the game.
Technical details
Drive Valley Station
Number of towers 10
Rope gauge 6.40 m
Season 2 Ropeways These ropeways are available exclusively on the Season 2 map.
Salisjochbahn This ropeway is a Funitel. In contrast to conventional gondola lifts, a Funitel has two haul ropes per side, arranged at a distance of 3.2 m from each other. Thanks to the large track gauge, this installation has particularly high wind stability and is ideally suited as a feeder line and main lift for the ski resort.
Technical details
Number of towers 6
Rope gauge 4.40 m (inside to inside) 10.80 m (outside to outside)
Hexenkesselbahn The Hexenkesselbahn is a modern 10-person Doppelmayr D-Line gondola lift. Like the Salisjochbahn, it is initially equipped with a different ropeway control system, making operation particularly challenging. The installation opens up some red and black slopes in the resort, making it an attractive proposition especially for professio- nal skiers.
Technical details
Number of towers 7
Rope gauge 6.40 m
Höllwiesenlift In addition to the many detachable ropeways, there is also a fixed- grip, four-seater chairlift in Winter Resort Simulator Season 2: the Höllwiesenlift. It unlocks a short yet beautiful slope perfect for re-runs, and connects the area around the Hexenkesselbahn with the rest of the Hallstein Ski Resort.
Due to its very central location and the low purchase price, this lift is an ideal first expansion for your ski resort.

Economic System Your objective is to gradually expand the small ski resort of Hallstein, opening up all ropeways, and ensuring that your guests are satisfied. Various factors play a role in your success, which will be explained in this chapter.
Guests Your guests are always the focus of your activities. You primary objective is to make sure your guests are always safe and satisfied. Just as in real life, a variety of different factors influence this satisfaction. Namely, the open facilities and slopes, the quality of the slopes, wait times in the resort, and prices.
Ropeways, Facilities, and Slopes A ski resort is only complete once it has ropeways, facilities, and ski slopes. Make sure that you always offer your guests at least one ropeway, one facility, and one slope which are open.
Weather Everyone knows the glorious, sunny weather that every skier wishes for on their winter holiday, but in real life there are many different weather scenarios. Each brings with it its own unique challenges.
Prominence One especially important factor determining your success in the game is how well-known your resort is. Your guests will only recommend your resort if they are satisfied (over 80% satisfaction). Therefore, you should always ensure that satisfaction levels are above 80%!
Finding the Right Price Probably the easiest way of influencing your guests’ satisfaction levels is the price. Even if there are long lines for every ropeway and facility, who cares as long as the price is right?
At the same time, the price is the decisive criterium for the economic success of your ski resort. After all, you have to cover your day-to-day running costs to keep your resort open.
Balance Sheet, Profit, and Loss Account
The economic system in Winter Resort Simulator works very similar to real life. Alongside your current account balance, there are some other figures and information that you, the manager of the resort, will find interesting and informative.
1. The profit and loss account shows you where your income is coming from and how costs are distributed among the resort’s various offerings.
2. The balance sheet consists of two columns that show you a range of information:
a. On the assets side, you’ll see all the installations, vehicles, and objects that currently belong to you (i.e. your total assets).
b. On the liabilities side, you’ll see where your money is coming from. At the start of the game, you have zero debt. However, if you take out a loan, this will be shown in the “Liabilities (debts)” section.
3. The different figures are the basis for the economic rating of your resort and help you to compare different situations in the game.
4. There are some connections between these elements. It is important for you to know that the result of the profit and loss account also includes the depreciation of your ropeways and vehicles.
Loans You have the option to speed up your growth by taking out a loan. You will then receive a certain amount of cash that you will have to repay with interest within a specified timeframe.
If your ski resort is economically successful (i.e. if you are turning a profit), your credit limit will quickly increase. On the other hand, your credit limit will be drastically reduced if you are unable to demonstrate profits
Liquidity Be careful! You always need a certain amount of cash to cover your running costs. If your account is empty, you will no longer be able to pay these running costs.
A Comparison: Renting and Buying If you want to expand your resort, you have various options: You can either rent ropeways, slope, and facilities, or buy them outright.
If you choose the rent you will pay a fixed daily amount, whereas if you opt to buy you will have to transfer the full amount at once.
Therefore, it is cheaper to purchase in the long term, while renting is the better option in the short term. Ultimately, it is your decision how you want to invest.
10 Tips for Success 1. The price is key! Always make sure that the price for what you
have to offer is right so that your guests are satisfied.
2. Play missions regularly! Get to know the resort’s supply routes and deliver goods on time, and you’ll be able to earn additional money.
3. Take out loans! These provide valuable financial start-up aid and can help you to grow quickly.
4. Make a profit every day! This way you’ll quickly be able to afford new investments or bigger loans.
5. Rethink your offering each and every day! Only open the facilities and slopes that you need for the current weather conditions so that there are no wait times.
6. Spread your work over several days! At the start especially, you don’t have to groom your slopes every day.
7. Groom the slopes as early as possible after closing time!
8. Keep an eye on the weather! If it snows overnight, the hard slopes will be covered in a blanket of snow and bumps quickly form after just a few ski tracks, wearing the slopes out quickly.
9. Always set enough money aside!
10. Last but not least: do whatever makes you happy!
We hope you have lots of fun playing!
