Winter sport stops: Last slopes on the Niederalpl closes!

Niederalpl 1, 8693 Neuberg, Österreich - The winter season on the Niederalpl is coming to an end! On February 7, 2025, the lift operators said that despite intensive efforts, the last day of skiing was imminent. This year only one slope and the children's country were open because the hoped -for snow failed to fail. The closure during the semester break that families should offer a last ski fun is particularly bitter. However, the operators hope for a better winter season 2025/26, but have to see that snow poverty represents a recurring problem, as steiermark.Ork.at reports.

In addition, the Niederalpl, a popular ski area in the Mürzer Oberland nature park region, has been known for its diverse leisure opportunities and breathtaking views for over 30 years. With its 12 km perfectly prepared slopes, it is a must for winter sports fans. Despite the difficult weather conditions, the area, just 90 minutes from Vienna and Graz, is known as family -friendly. Children up to 15 years can even go skiing free of charge if they are accompanied by an adult, which makes it an attractive goal for families, such as "https://www.steiermark.com/en/hochsteiermark/plan-your-holiday/excursion-destinations/skigebiet-niederalpl_isd_28279"> stei-mark.com . However, the challenges that arise from the climatic conditions make it clear that many smaller ski areas, including the Niederalpl, are increasingly under pressure to maintain their operation. Personalities such as leisure researchers Peter Zellmann point out that without artificial snow -making economic operation would be almost impossible and that the popularity of skiing decreases.

A look into the future

The discussion about the future of winter sports is also illuminated by the Radio Styria discussion series "A place on the word" on February 12th. Representatives of the cable car and former ski athletes such as Elisabeth Görgl will deal with the challenges and perspective of winter sports.
