Ski resorts & cable car companies – safety and organization in alpine tourism

 

Ski resorts are highly complex businesses: every day, thousands of guests use the lifts, restaurants, parking lots, and infrastructure. At the same time, hundreds of employees work in various departments—from technology to catering. A clear safety and organizational concept is crucial to ensuring that processes run smoothly and safely.


Access control and/or mechanical locking system

Electronic access controls ensure clear structures: employees only have access to the areas relevant to them—such as cash registers, technical rooms, or offices. Temporary authorizations can be set up for seasonal workers or external service providers, which automatically expire after a certain period of time. Mechanical locking systems supplement the system where digital solutions are not absolutely necessary.

Video surveillance – safety on slopes and in buildings

Modern camera systems monitor cash register areas, valley and mountain stations, and parking lots. They serve not only to prevent theft, but also to ensure the safety of guests—for example, in the event of accidents or disputes. Thanks to remote access, operations managers can view the footage at any time while on the go.

Safes and deposit safes

Ski resorts handle large amounts of cash every day – whether from ski pass sales, restaurants, or shops. Safes and deposit safes ensure that daily takings can be stored securely immediately, without employees having direct access to the cash registers.

Advertising screens – real-time information and marketing

Digital screens are now standard in ski resorts. They provide guests with information about slope conditions, avalanche warnings, or events, while also serving as advertising space.

Our conclusion – ski resorts are completely safe

With access controls, video surveillance, safes, and modern information systems, ski resorts create a high level of security and transparency. Guests benefit from clear information, employees from regulated processes, and operators reliably secure their assets.
