The country of winter sports par excellence lies in the middle of Europe. Austria, the “cradle of alpine skiing”, not only has a centuries-long tradition but also state-of-the-art know-how, and innovative high-tech products in all fields related to winter sports. About seven decades ago, the Austrian ski industry began in small woodworking shops and even today, ski brands “Made in Austria” such as Atomic, Blizzard, Fischer, Head or Kästle are world leaders. Their export rate is over 80%.

Also, the range of tourist infrastructure is wide. From the planning and construction of large transport systems to the construction of high ropes courses, Austrian companies and experts have comprehensive offers for winter sports centers from all over the world. If you want to increase the attractiveness of your winter and summer tourism infrastructure, you are in good hands with Austria’s tourism specialists.

The best example of this is, of course, Beijing, the venue of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. The Chinese organizers rely on a wide variety of products and solutions from Austria: for example, access systems, transport technology, snow- and ice production, planning and engineering services, and much more.

For those who want to cast an eye on the future of winter sports in Europe, pay a visit to the “Snow Space Salzburg” region and let yourself be taken to the top by the newly inaugurated “Flying Mozart”: a ten-person gondola lift with a capacity of 4,000 guests per hour. Standing upright was yesterday, today there are individual and heated seats, great views and free WIFI in the cabin. 1.885 meters in 11 minutes! This once again underlines the engineering capacity of the Austrian world market leader in ropeway construction.
