The World'€™s Fair of Winter Sports: Interalpin 2015

  • Push to The Latest: No

Approximately 23,000 winter resort professionals descended on Messe Innsbruck, Austria, April 15-17 for the annual Interalpin trade show. Attendees came from nearly 80 countries, from major markets such as the U.S., France, and Switzerland to emerging markets such as Kazakhstan, China, and Argentina. More than 60 percent of the visitors came from outside of Europe, indicating the show’s international appeal.

With roughly 650 exhibitors from more than 45 countries, Interalpin is a popular platform for the introduction of innovations from both established and new companies alike. This year, the hot topics were snowmaking, technical equipment for creating and maintaining slopes, and all aspects of passenger transport. Solutions for summer operations also saw increased interest. Visitors were especially interested in questions of quality, safety and environmental sustainability, and naturally, the best price-performance ratio.

The next Interalpin is set for April 26-28, 2017.
