Upper Austria releases 850,000 euros to secure Kasberg ski resort

Upper Austria has released 850,000 euros for the Kasberg ski resort in Grünau im Almtal, with the funding intended to prepare for the 2026-27 winter season and finance operations this year, ORF reported.

The state government approved the funding at a meeting on Monday. Governor Thomas Stelzer said the resort was important to families, schools and clubs in the region. He said the aim was to secure operations while working on a long-term future for the resort.

The money is part of a funding framework of up to 10 million euros for 2026 to 2028, approved by the Upper Austrian state parliament. The framework also covers replacement investments and planning for a new snowmaking concept, which the state says is intended to help keep the resort economically viable over the long term.
