Lower Austria: Number of Guests in Ski Resorts Increased During Semester Break

According to information from Thursday, a total of 210,000 visits were counted in the Lower Austrian ski resorts during the semester break. The current winter season is expected to end in many regions of the state on March 16, with ski operations on the Hochkar planned until April 6.

More guests in Lower Austrian ski resorts also lead to an increase in ski rentals

"Currently, 14 ski resorts with a total of 49 lifts and 80 kilometers of slopes are open in Lower Austria, and the Rax cable car and Schneeberg chairlift are also available for hiking operations," emphasized the state governor responsible for tourism, Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP), in a statement. With 4,300 guests, last Saturday on the Hochkar was "one of the busiest days of the current winter season." Markus Redl, managing director of the state-owned ecoplus Alpin GmbH, pointed out that "this year there is a special demand for evening operations with floodlights from the Wexl Arena St. Corona am Wechsel to the Hochkar mountain railways." Renting equipment is also likely to be in high demand. "In ski rentals, increases of more than 20 percent compared to the previous winter were often achieved," Wolfgang Ecker, president of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce, summarized.
