Ski area Schetteregg Insolvent: Economic problems lead to bankruptcy!
The turbulent economic Situation in the Bregenzerwald has led to the bankruptcy of the "Egger Liftgesellschaft M.B.H. & Co KG". On May 27, 2025, bankruptcy proceedings on the operating company of the Schetteregg ski area were opened in Vorarlberg. The company's liabilities amount to around 1.3 million euros. Two creditors and five employees are affected by the bankruptcy.
The Schetteregg ski area was known for its natural tourism and family -friendly winter sports. The tourist offer included several lifts, cable cars, slopes, an inn, restaurant, a holiday home and a kiosk in the children's country. Despite a successful summer season 2024 and a satisfactory winter season 2024/25, the economic contaminated sites turned out to be too stressful. The increase in costs for energy, personnel and equipment, together with the challenges of climate change, led to closure.
economic challenges
The "Egger Liftgesellschaft" could not develop into an economically viable year -round operation. In the 100-member shareholder structure, there was a lack of strategic unity, which contributed to the overload of the company. In particular, the fact that the continuation of business operations in the previous form is no longer possible has further tightened. Those responsible have decided to initiate the closure and liquidation of the company, since renovation is neither possible nor intended.
Institutions such as the Vorarlberg state government have observed the situation carefully and examine possible support measures for the employees and creditors concerned. The loss of such a popular tourist attraction could also have an impact on the surrounding economic area, since the region depends heavily on tourism. For many families, the ski area was not only a place of relaxation, but also an important source of income.
In summary, the case of the "Egger Liftgesellschaft" shows how sensitive the economic foundations of tourism companies in the Bregenzerwald are. Climate change and increasing operating costs not only present the operators of challenges, but also endanger jobs and the economic stability of the entire region.More Details on this topic can be found in the reports of 5min href = "https://vorarlberg.orf.at/stories/3306006/"> Orf Vorarlberg and Further reports of the ORF .
