I've just been on my e-bike to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and I'm already on my way to the cellar to get my ski equipment ready. Why am I doing this, given that it's currently being discussed whether skiing will even be possible in December? That's true, but I'm inspired by the motivation in the Heiligenblut ski resort, where everything is being made fit and ready for the ski season!
Out of all the pipes
The weather is perfect for snow production right now. Even if Mother Hulda is letting us down at the moment and the stable high-pressure weather over the Alps means that natural snowfall is a long way off, the low temperatures at night are perfect. During the nights, the temperature reliably drops below zero and the snow cannons in the ski area can get to work. The men and women of the mountain railroads leave no doubt that we can also reliably start the ski season this winter.
Winter is coming "With certainty"
Even if it hasn't officially started yet and even if there are no signs of the winter season apart from the temperatures, winter and therefore the snow won't be long in coming. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road has long been in hibernation and is already covered in fresh snow in places. With a sophisticated and seamless safety concept, the ski area is getting ready to go, sufficient distance is being ensured, all hygiene rules are being observed and we can all be sure that wonderful days of skiing will be less of a safety risk and more of a boost to the immune system. With a positive attitude and lots of anticipation for the winter, we can hardly wait to make our first turns in the snow.
See you soon in winter and see you skiing in Heiligenblut
Yours, Erhard Trojer
