Celebrate yes, but without waste and with as little environmental impact as possible. Not possible, say many. But it does, says the Hochfügen Hightrails Festival organisation team. With the support of Klimabündnis Tirol, the event was able to achieve an award as GREEN EVENT TIROL basic.
“Organisers can make a significant contribution to climate protection through simple measures,” says Stephanie Rauscher from “Klimabündnis Tirol”. The non-profit association coordinates the activities of GREEN EVENTS TIROL together with the “Umwelt Verein” and the support of the province of Tirol. Anyone planning an event in Tirol can receive an award if certain criteria are adhered. “Our goal is to show people that a sustainable lifestyle is not only possible, but always enriching. One example: cycling to the festival is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet and is also healthy,” says Stephanie Rauscher.
In spring 2025, the Hochfügen Hightrail Festival was officially awarded by the state.
