STORIES ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability – a word the Gletscherbahnen Kaprun Inc. 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.

The stories illustrate the company's responsible planning, acting and operating in harmony with nature.

"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
