Overview

Magic Pass offers student-priced access and partner discounts across selected resorts and transport in Germany and bordering regions. This guide summarizes common requirements, verification routes, and quick activation tips for students.

Typical discount: 20–50% on day passes or transport add-ons.
Verification: student ID, ISIC, or digital university confirmation.
Activation windows: seasonal promotions and semester-based offers.

Eligibility & required documents

Full-time students enrolled at a recognized university, college, or vocational school in Germany (DEU) are typically eligible. Some partner offers accept EU/EFTA students and international students studying in DEU.

Valid student ID (semester ticket may be accepted), ISIC card, or an official enrollment confirmation (Immatrikulationsbescheinigung). Some partners require photo ID plus proof of enrollment.

Verification can be instant via third-party services (ISIC/SheerID) or manual at partner desks. Keep your enrollment letter and ID handy when activating on-site.

Practical tips

Check seasonal windows—student promos often coincide with semester breaks.
Use ISIC where accepted: it speeds up verification and unlocks international partner discounts.
Book early for weekends; student allocations can sell out for popular resorts.
Combine student rail discounts (BahnCard Jugend or semester ticket) with Magic Pass partner offers when possible.
