Local projects
Wherever the terrain in winter is used intensively by ski mountaineers and conflicts repeatedly occur, these conflicts should be resolved on the basis of local working parties according to the specifications of the province’s Ski and Snowboard Tour Plan.
Even in areas where ski touring is to be specially promoted and funded in the interests of tourism, the precautionary development of guidance measures makes a great deal of sense.
Working methods in the projects
Based on their local knowledge and the documents we circulate to the teams, we first of all establish the basic principles. These include:
- Map of all known ski tours with estimated frequency of use
- Map of the habitats suitable for black and wood grouse (throughout Tyrol)
- Map of all roe deer and red deer feeding areas
- Map of the main winter retreats for red deer
- Map of the site-protecting forests
- Map of the most important ibex and chamois habitats
On this basis we work together on problem areas and possible solution strategies. This leads to a map of the conservation areas for our 4 protected sites and species:
