The AhrtalCard is valid for the duration of your stay - including on the day of arrival and departure. Only the dates entered by your host are valid.

Your personalised AhrtalCard is not transferable. Only you personally may use the benefits of the card during your stay.

No, the AhrtalCard is currently not available to buy. It is a heartfelt invitation to experience the diversity of the Ahr Valley.
Is there anything else to consider?
Please always carry the AhrtalCard with you during your stay - as well as a valid photo ID.
Please note that the AhrtalCard can only be used once during your stay with individual partners.
What terms of use apply to VRM bus & train services?
The VRM guest ticket is only valid on public transport operated by the Rhine-Moselle Transport Association (VRM) in 2nd class trains and not on IC or ICE trains.
The VRM guest ticket is only valid when fully completed. Bicycles can be carried free of charge from 9 a.m. on weekdays and all day on Sundays and public holidays.
Are certain groups exempt from paying the guest contribution?
§ Section 4 of the guest contribution statutes states that severely disabled persons with a degree of disability of 100 and persons accompanying severely disabled persons with a degree of disability of 100 are exempt from paying the contribution if the need to be accompanied is proven by an official medical certificate, severely disabled person's pass or pension certificate.
However, this also means that the benefits of the guest card are not granted to this person. If the person is interested in the AhrtalCard, they can of course pay the guest contribution voluntarily at the accommodation establishment and then receive the AhrtalCard including all services.
