EXPERIENTIAL ATTRACTIONS FOR MOUNTAIN RAILWAYS AND ALPINE DESTINATIONS
A KristallTurm® High Ropes Course offers ski resorts, mountain destinations and hiking areas a unique business model to fully unlock their potential during summer and shoulder seasons.
Increase cable car ridership, boost food & beverage revenue, attract new target groups and achieve a fast return on investment with a proven attraction concept.
For many cable car operators and tourism regions, expanding their summer offerings has long been a key factor in their success and a necessity for the future. Unique experiential attractions can help gain new target groups, increase occupancy rates, and clearly set them apart from the competition.
KristallTurm® supports destinations with customized experience concepts that delight visitors and sustainably increase local economic value – from high ropes courses and playgrounds to climbing and bouldering walls and fitness facilities.
THE HIGH ROPES COURSE EFFECT
ONE GUEST RARELY COES ALONE
INCREASED CABLE CAR USAGE
On average, each climber brings 1 to 2 accompanying visitors who also make use of the mountain’s facilities, restaurants and leisure offerings.
BROAD APPEAL
A high ropes course combined with a children’s adventure course, a playground, and seating areas appeals to people of all ages – from toddlers to grandparents.
LONGER DWELL TIME = MORE REVENUE
Climbers spend an average of 1 to 2.5 hours in the high ropes course. Meanwhile, their companions enjoy the nearby restaurants or other activities on the mountain.
STAFF RETENTION
In seasonal businesses, it is often difficult to retain good employees over the long term. A high ropes course makes it possible to employ staff year-round.
90% OF WHAT YOU NEED IS ALREADY THERE.
Mountain railways and tourist destinations already have the key elements needed for a successful adventure attraction: visitor traffic, staff, accounting and marketing, and an existing infrastructure.
Restaurants, hiking trails, mountain railways, parking lots, restrooms, and retail points are already in place and established. A high ropes course complements these facilities perfectly and adds another element to the visitor experience without the need to first establish the necessary framework.
SLIDE & ADVENTURE TRAIL
The journey is the destination. In addition to high ropes courses, we work together with Wiegand, the leading manufacturer of slides and alpine coasters, to create a unique concept for enhancing hiking destinations: a combination of slides and adventure trails that adds an exciting new dimension to the mountain experience.
Located directly along hiking paths and discreetly integrated into the natural surroundings, families, school groups and clubs discover varied obstacle courses made from robinia wood, featuring low-level climbing elements. Balance, strength and coordination are put to the test in a fun and engaging way.
For an extra dose of excitement, stainless steel slides provide a thrilling ride downhill while opening up spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. The result is a unique combination of adventure, movement and fun that blends harmoniously into the mountain environment.
