Electric Cars welcome in Zell am See-Kaprun

Public Electricity 'Filling Station' for Eco-Friendly Cars in Zell am See-Kaprun

Austria's twinned ski resorts of Zell am See and Kaprun are highlighting their on going efforts to do more to minimise the environmental impact of their successful tourism industry.

The 'Electro Drive' traffic concept of Zell am See-Kaprun means that guests and locals alike can already recharge their electro vehicles at public service stations. Now the twin towns are planning to offer emission-free transportion hire to guests such as electro bicycles, scooters, and Segways for rent. The resorts also promote car free days.

The Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG lift company has made environmental protection a priority for a number of years now, especially the sensitive ecosystem of the glacier on Kitzsteinhorn. The company is the first lift operator in Austria to fulfil the high environmental standards of the international ISO 14001 environmental management certification.

Down in the resort many other businesses have already been awarded the Austrian ecologo for their commitment to the environment. The 'Amiamo Familotel', 'Romantikhotel' and 'Pension Hubertus' have all been so recognised for acting in an ecosensitive way and at the same time meet highest standards when it comes to service and quality.

The hotels reduce waste, save water and energy and thus are able to minimize environmental harm, while at the same time they pamper their guests with local and organically farmed food. The Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management has awarded these three enterprises its ecoseal and the 'Pension Hubertus' has also got the EU ecolabel.
