Despite 14 million euros in funding: a large ski area in Germany is taking a drastic step. Due to the mild winter, the operator of the ski area has now had to file for bankruptcy.
In some areas it may be a goodbye forever. At Jenner am Königssee (Berchtesgadener Land district), ski operations will be completely stopped. Demand was too low given the high costs of making snow and preparing the slopes. “In order to cover our costs, we would have to charge very high prices for ski tickets. Nobody can or wants to pay for that,” explained a spokeswoman, who also cited climate change.
