Declaration on accessibility

Arnika Ischgl

We endeavour to make our website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Act as amended to implement the European Accessibility Directive (EU) RL 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements of products and services.
This declaration on accessibility applies to www.hotelarnika.at

Note: This accessibility statement relates exclusively to our website. It makes no statement about the structural accessibility of our premises.

Status of compliance with the requirements

This website is partially compliant with conformance level AA of the ‘Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG 2.2’ or with the applicable European standard EN 301 549 due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not yet accessible for the following reasons:

a)    Incompatibility with accessibility regulations

1.1.1 - This success criterion is currently not fully met, as the website contains a large number of images that still lack alternative descriptions. We are constantly working on adding these captions.
1.3.1 - Some visually highlighted text areas are not programmatically labelled as headings. The heading structure is being optimised step by step.
1.3.2 - Certain content is not displayed in the logical order, which can lead to problems with assistive technologies.
1.3.3 - Individual links or buttons are only differentiated by colour, which means that the success criterion is not met.
1.3.5 - Some form fields - especially in the contact form - do not contain ‘autocomplete’ attributes and therefore do not fulfil the criterion.
1.4.1 - Links, for example in continuous text or the navigation, are sometimes only highlighted in colour. This does not fulfil the success criterion.
1.4.3 - Some texts and graphic elements do not meet the required contrast ratios. Optimisation is planned.
1.4.13 - Some navigation content only appears on hover, but is not accessible via keyboard.
2.1.1 - The main navigation blocks the focus when using the keyboard. Other elements such as buttons or accordions cannot always be operated using the keyboard.
2.2.2 - Some videos do not have controls for pausing or ending.
2.4.1 - Skip links to skip recurring content are not available.
2.4.3 - The order of keyboard navigation is sometimes illogical or gets lost when closing elements.
2.4.4 - Some links and buttons are not sufficiently described and therefore not clearly identifiable for screen readers.
2.4.6 - Headings and form elements are not always named clearly or descriptively.
2.4.7 - The focus display for keyboard navigation is not always visible.
2.4.11 - The focus disappears when menus or operating elements such as accordions are not open.
2.5.3 - Partially missing visible labelling of control elements, which is reflected in the accessible name.
2.5.8 - Some buttons or clickable elements are smaller than the recommended minimum size of 24 x 24 pixels.3.3.1 - Incorrect entries are not clearly recognised or described as such.
3.3.2 - Form elements are not consistently labelled or explained.
3.3.3 - No specific instructions are given for correcting errors.
3.3.4 - Important data entries cannot be checked or cancelled before sending.
4.1.2 - Not all buttons or interactive elements convey their state (e.g. expanded or selected) correctly programmatically.
4.1.3 - Changes such as progress indicators or errors are not automatically communicated to assistive technologies.

b)    Unreasonable burden

We are of the opinion that the rectification would represent a disproportionate burden in terms of accessibility regulations. 

c)    The content does not fall within the scope of the applicable legislation

There are older documents and content available on the website that are not accessible. As these were published before 28 June 2025, they are exempt from the Accessibility Act and no comprehensive change is currently planned for them.

The website contains documents and content from third-party providers that are neither developed, financed nor controlled by us. No statement can be made regarding the compatibility of this third-party content with the accessibility provisions and it is therefore also exempt from the requirements of the Accessibility Act.

Creation of the declaration on accessibility

This declaration was created on 02.04.25.
The assessment of the website's compliance with the Accessibility Act was carried out in the form of a self-test according to the guidelines of level AA of WCAG 2.2.
