At the end of March, the Vorarlberg cable lane drew a provisional record of the winter season of 2024/25: despite the challenging weather, an average of 125.9 business days were registered.
The joy of skiing and winter sports still seems to be unbroken. This is confirmed by the number of Vorarlberg Mountain Railways, a few weeks before the end of the season. “The development of recent years is particularly positive: more and more people have been able to make themselves enthusiastic about skiing and snow,” says Andreas Gapp, specialist group chairman of the Vorarlberg cable lanes.
Especially satisfactory: the large ski areas could reach an increase of 7.66 percent in their winter sales. And the responsible people also look back on an extremely successful winter season in the small ski resorts. Thanks to optimum conditions at the low locations and the high demand, they increased their winter sales with an impressive 28.65 percent compared to the previous year. The number of initial performances also registered significant growth with an increase of 9.13 percent.
With an average of 82.13 business days per ski area, a stable and reliable season was realized, which again underlines the importance of the electricity, lower ski areas, especially for the locals, the cable car summarized.
Even if most of the valley runs are already closed or only take in the valley in the form of white ligaments, there is still enough snow in the upper locations. The rainfall at the start of the week caused the return of winter in the short term – and a little fresh snow. The spring -like temperatures will probably also lure the more cold winter sports enthusiasts on the slopes the last time. “You can enjoy the best in both seasons. Many ski areas are still open to Easter Monday and even beyond,” advertisement of the season finale in the ski resorts.
After the end of the season, many companies have a revision of the program before the start signal for the summer season 2025 will be given in the coming weeks.
