Winter tourism in Austria

With around 3,000 lifts, the domestic mountain cable cars are among the absolute world leaders. In order to secure this position, billions are invested in the most modern and safest infrastructure, snow safety, quality and comfort for guests.

Austria's cable cars are an economic turbo in the region and ensure significant added value and stable (year-round) jobs. Sustainable development in all its facets is also taken into account. This includes social responsibility as an employer, the provision of a high-quality working environment, but Alpine nature conservation also plays a central role. Technical snowmaking has made a significant contribution to strengthening winter tourism in recent years. Continuous modernisation ensures that the technology in Austria is state-of-the-art and therefore particularly environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
