Three awards for Reiteralm Bergbahnen
Die Reiteralm Bergbahnen wurde zum "Aufsteiger des Jahres 2014" gewählt – das vielfältige Angebot und die Innovationen am Berg gaben den Ausschlag; besonders erwähnt sei hier die Ausstellung "Sommer-Schnee", der Sommer-Schneespielplatz mit echten Schnee sowie die Barrierefreiheit inkl. den schön gestalteten Weg rund um den Reiteralmsee.
Also, Franzi via ferrata received a distinction in the Fun Aktiv category, and Brigitte Trinker was awarded, on behalf of the entire team, the Best Marketing prize.
