STORIES ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability – a word the Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG has not strained recklessly, but used thoughtfully and vigorously for many years.

It's a journey the company has decided to set out on a long time ago. And although the path is not always easy and oftentimes rocky, the company follows the green way one step at a time.

In our Stories about Sustainability, we take a look behind the scenes and show, how sustainability is lived in everyday life on the Kitzsteinhorn.

"Our visitors draw from a broad range of sports and adventure offerings all year round thanks to Kitzsteinhorn's snow-secure altitude and diversified landscape. For it to remain that way, we will continue to act responsibly and resource-efficiently in this unique nature area.— Thomas Maierhofer, CEO of the Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG
