The Spieljochbahn in Fügen sets standards for sustainable mountain enjoyment: thanks to a variety of initiatives, TÜV Austria recently awarded the company the ISO 14001 certificate "after an intensive programme of innovative ideas and efforts".
Sustainable work and modern architecture in harmony with nature - this was already taken into account when the Spieljochbahn was built. As the new owner, the Schultz Group focussed on environmentally conscious operations back in 2017: "Our photovoltaic systems on the Spieljoch generate more than 100,000 kilowatt hours, and thanks to our solar system at the mountain station and the heat recovery system, we are saving even more energy," says Maximilian Schultz. The Spieljochbahn is also a pioneer when it comes to storage ponds, snow management and piste construction: the ecologically valuable turf is carefully removed and replaced in the correct position. In addition, carbon dioxide is saved in the valley station thanks to district heating and e-fuelling stations and a cooperation with ÖBB also contribute to the sustainability account.
Environmental management certification ISO 14001Thisfocus on environmentally friendly initiatives has now been certified by TÜV Austria: the Spieljochbahn has recently been awarded the ISO 14001 certificate for environmentally conscious and sustainable management and a well-documented environmental management system that is practised within the organisation "The Spieljochbahn is now one of the spearheads of tourism businesses that promote environmental protection and regional sustainability on the basis of ISO 14001. Proof that economic and ecological sustainability can be combined," explained lead auditor Eva Stockley at the certificate presentation at the Spieljochbahn mountain station.
Families in the fast laneThefamily ski area at the start of the Zillertal also has slopes for all ability levels, the longest toboggan run in the Zillertal and a winter hiking trail to the summit of the Spieljoch. Culinary delights are provided by huts and the Mountain Loft with an inviting sun lounge, pizza and pasta as well as award-winning dishes in the gourmet restaurant. Tip: Children up to the age of 6 ski for free, up to the age of 2009 for just 33 euros and the youth price applies up to the age of 18 - so families are in the fast lane all winter long.
