Environmentally friendly ski operation 2022
Ski resortTest winner 2022 - The best ski resorts worldwide
SkiWelt's environmental protection activities are exemplary. The Sonnenlift in Brixen is 100% solar-powered. A solar system is installed at the Jochbahn in Brixen. Care is taken to ensure gentle snowmaking when producing artificial snow. In summer, the snow ponds are mainly filled with precipitation and snowmelt. The snow groomers are equipped with a sophisticated snow measurement system. The GPS-controlled slope management system enables efficient and resource-saving snow management and thus enormous savings in technically produced snow and energy.
For many years, 100% renewable energy (green electricity) from Tyrolean hydropower has been used. Ski buses run to the lifts in all villages. In Scheffau, Hopfgarten and Brixen there are free charging points for electric cars at the parking lots. Renewable energy or waste heat is used to heat various facilities in the SkiWelt. There is a waste separation system at all valley and mountain stations and strict attention is paid to waste separation. Sufficient waste garbage cans are available everywhere so that the environment is not polluted. The huts mainly use regional products from the region and pay attention to sustainability. The building colors are chosen in harmony with nature and the construction work is supervised by nature conservation experts.
