Environmental friendliness of the ski resort Schmittenhöhe – Zell am See

The Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See is continuously extending its commitment to environmental and climate protection. The resort uses solar energy and is working towards environmental certification.

Biogas is used to fuel skidoos. There is a charging point for electric cars at the base station of the areitXpress lift.

To make Schmitten even more environmentally friendly, the lift operator is the first ski resort in the Salzburg region to apply for environmental certification according to the recognised EMAS Eco-Management and Audit Scheme.
