STORIES OF SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is a powerful word – one that Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG does not use lightly, but has embraced thoughtfully and pursued with unwavering commitment for many years.
It is a journey the company decided to embark on long ago. The path is not always easy or free of obstacles. But the destination is clear, and so the company continues to move forward, step by step, along its "green" path.
In our Stories of Sustainability, we take you behind the scenes and show how sustainability is put into practice in everyday life at Kitzsteinhorn.
"Thanks to the Kitzsteinhorn’s snow-reliable high-altitude setting and diverse natural landscape, our guests can enjoy a wide range of sports and recreational activities throughout the year. To ensure that remains true, we will continue to treat this unique natural environment with care and use its resources responsibly." — Thomas Maierhofer, CEO of the Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG
