Since 2011, the Ski Guide Austria team has been awarding the “Ski Guide Austria Awards” for innovative ideas, creative campaigns or outstanding investments that give ski areas unique selling points and Austrian winter sports a boost. In the 15th year of the Ski Guide Austria, the jury has once again struck gold in its search for innovative ideas, creative campaigns or outstanding investments.
The Ski Guide Austria Award for innovative ideas, creative actions or outstanding innovations in 2024 goes to:
GROSSARL BERGBANEN / TOURISM ASSOCIATION
For many years now, the side valley on the edge of the national park has been following its own path, which in winter optimally combines nature and piste skiing. The town, which is also blessed with top-class hotels, is starting the 23/24 winter season with a major investment by the mountain railways. 70 million euros for the new cable car, additional kilometers of slopes and the associated second connection line of the ski area with Dorfgastein: that is worthy of all honor in these times.
NASSFELD
For the continuous, investment-intensive development of the ski area, over the past six decades, into Carinthia's flagship ski destination, known beyond the country's borders - with a wide range of offers for all winter sports-loving target groups of all ages, all skill levels, as well as domestic and foreign day and holiday guests. In addition to the varied slopes, the snow guarantee, pleasant alpine-southern flair, harmonious catering and service offerings and the attractive price-performance ratio are also worth mentioning.
FABRICE GIRARDONI / STUHLECK
For the consistent and sustainable positioning of Stuhleck as the ski resort for the greater Vienna area, Lower Austria and Styria and neighboring Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary and, in connection with this, the promotion of winter sports for city dwellers. Fabrice Girardoni, who is also committed to the interests of the industry as chairman of the Styrian cable cars in the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, is already the third generation to run the family business Stuhleck and has made it fit for the future with his activities and corresponding investments.
