The core points of the operational realignment will be the renewal of the feeder from Brigels to the ski area, the optimization of the transport facilities on the mountain and the restructuring of the financing of Bergbahnen AG.
The mountain railroad company must face up to the demands of the rapidly changing market, but also climate change. In particular, snow production, slope preparation and customer expectations of transport facilities are becoming increasingly demanding and, above all, more cost-intensive. Mountain railway companies at the given altitude of Brigels and of medium size can survive if they are able to adapt continuously. The associated financing requirements can be met if the shareholders and the public sector work closely together to find intelligent solutions. The mountain railway company is facing up to these challenges.
The succession planning for the management of the mountain railroad companies is in full swing. Once again, a person with restructuring experience is being sought.
Hansueli Baier,
President of the Board of Directors of Bergbahnen Brigels AG and Brigels Resort AG
