The TechnoAlpin company from Volders in the Tyrolean lowlands has equipped Saalbach with countless snow guns. The many years of local experience help to ensure that the stars also have perfect conditions at the current World Championships.

No piste for tourists and certainly no race course would meet the requirements without artificial snowmaking. Tyrolean know-how is in demand for the World Championship slopes at the World Ski Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, which started on Tuesday.

More than 1000 snow guns in the area
Specifically from TechnoAlpin, which has installed no fewer than 1187 fan guns and 159 lances in the entire ski resort (including the Tyrolean part in Fieberbrunn). "Thanks to our many years of cooperation, we know the local conditions very well," explains Alexander Aichhorn, Sales Manager at TechnoAlpin Austria.
