Climate Change

At the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe, concrete sustainability goals are extremely important to us. Why? Quite simply, if we don't take active steps to combat climate change, we can expect a significant rise in temperatures, which will result in fewer frost days in winter , less snow and more extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and droughts.

This will have an impact on how the flora and fauna in our region develops - and of course on whether and how we can organize future mountain activities.
