Environmental protection of the ski resort Garmisch-Classic – Garmisch-Partenkirchen

In Garmisch-Classic, special rail-combi tickets are used to encourage visitors to arrive by public transport. Part of the required energy is generated by photovoltaic systems and the use of waste heat/heat recovery. There is also a combined heat and power plant for on-site electricity generation. GPS in the grooming vehicles provides precise data on snow depths. This helps to manage snowmaking and slope grooming efficiently and in a resource-saving manner. The ski area includes an FFH protected area (Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive). Skiing outside the slopes is not permitted in forested areas. Slopes with insufficient snow cover are closed.
