Wherever modern ropeway installations are to be
found, tourism and trade flourish – especially in
the winter season. That applies in particular to
geographic regions which were once remote and difficult to
get to. As well as creating attractive jobs, winter sports lead
to the creation of infrastructure, which in turn acts as an
important driver for sustained value creation.
Furthermore, an attractive winter tourist region helps to combat
population drift. What would many Alpine valleys and famous
ski resorts be without tourism? Perhaps nothing more than an
out-of-the-way destination for individual hikers. Successful winter
regions are above all those which have continually shown courage
and pioneering spirit, and whose lifts and offerings reflect
contemporary trends – from the smallest ski resorts to the top
international destinations. Doppelmayr/Garaventa has been
privileged to work with these pioneers right from the early days
and to join them in setting many milestones.
