Local ski areas prepared for climate protests

“No images of physical violence against demonstrators should be created/provoked,” it says.

The document can no longer be found on the website. In its recommendation for action, the association does not rule out the possibility that demonstrators could take action on access roads and on the grounds of ski areas, but also on lifts. In this case, the association advises “employees not to take action themselves as long as the current situation does not pose a potential threat.” Instead of aggression, it is important to “remain emotionally calm and monitor the situation closely” and inform the police immediately.

In the document, the cable car association also suggests “communicative countermeasures” such as preparing banners for “positive counter-demonstrations”. Among other things, it could be advertised there that cable cars are “100 percent electromobility”.

“Cable cars are not energy guzzlers”

In addition, the companies are partners for the climate. In local ski areas, fossil resources are almost completely a thing of the past; instead, more than 90 percent of green electricity is used, according to the tenor of the paper. “In some regions, the cable cars are not energy guzzlers, but – on the contrary – important producers (beyond their operations),” writes the specialist association in the paper. We certainly understand the concerns of young people.

In response to a request from the APA, the association emphasized that the recommendations were within the “framework of general communicative preparations” that always took current developments into account. However, there has been no reason to do so yet, it was said. “We are not aware of any actions.”
