The dispute revolves around plans for the modern snow-making project and a storage pond, which will be built and put into operation in the coming years.

You now want to sue the money in court. So far, none of the plaintiffs has been prepared to comment in front of a camera or microphone from the ORF.

The report is in the process of being completed, and field work has been going on for weeks. The services provided could all be documented, according to the plaintiffs.

Owner wants to start the season as planned
Meanwhile, in Gaißau-Hintersee, preparations for the coming winter and ski season are continuing. This can start undisturbed by the legal disputes, emphasizes managing director Eibl: “I will certainly not be disturbed by such little things. I stand behind the region. I stand behind the communities of Faistenau, Hintersee and Gaißau, bought the ski area and do it together. “
The mountain railways are relying on a new planning concept for the snowmaking systems. In the legal dispute about the outstanding invoices – according to reports – a sworn expert should probably have his say in the court.
