Investments in slopes and snowmaking
The quality of the slopes is continuously being improved throughout the entire ski area. This also includes the ongoing expansion of the snowmaking systems to enable even more efficient and resource-saving snow production. Starting next winter season, 30 additional snow generators will be put into operation in Alpbachtal and 14 new snow generators in Wildschönau. This brings the ski area closer to its goal of being able to complete the basic snowmaking within just three days in the future. The new equipment also consumes significantly less energy, making another important contribution to the sustainable use of natural resources.These measures ensure perfect conditions on all runs and increase snow reliability from the beginning to the end of the winter season.
Further improvements for children and beginners
In the Schatzberg Zwergenland, an additional conveyor belt will be installed. At the top station of the Markbachjochbahn cable car, winter sports enthusiasts will also find a new, 110-metre-long covered conveyor belt – ideal for comfortable ascents and first turns in the snow.New children’s slope at the Schatzberg
At the Schatzberg, an existing connecting track from the top station of the Schatzbergbahn cable car to the Hahnkopfbahn chairlift will now be used as a new blue slope for children. This creates another attractive option for families and beginners.New access system: Ski pass on your smartphone
With the new “mobile ticket” technology from SKIDATA, hourly and one-day passes can be loaded directly onto a smartphone. In addition, all access terminals have been completely replaced. Mobile tickets are available in the online shop. Access is then conveniently possible via mobile phone, so a physical data carrier such as a key card or deposit card is no longer strictly necessary.2022/2023
