Environmental protection of the ski resort Kitzsteinhorn/Maiskogel – Kaprun
The Hohe Tauern National Park is a partner of the Kitzsteinhorn/Maiskogel ski area. To protect this high-alpine holiday and leisure region, pioneering environmental protection measures have been implemented, such as energy and water supply through the combined Grubbach pump and power plant (used as a hydroelectric power plant in summer, with water being pumped uphill in winter), as well as solar panels, renaturation of ski slopes and vegetation-free slope areas, waste separation, and waste prevention. Overall, Kitzsteinhorn and Maiskogel are highly committed to responsible and sustainable management of nature and its resources. They rely on modern, efficient facilities and pay close attention to protected zones for forests and wildlife. Winter sports enthusiasts are also encouraged to use public transportation.
