United for today and tomorrow
Living sustainability for our intact nature and environment
Under the brand "Bergliebe" we, the Vorarlberger Bergbahnen, unite our diverse sustainability efforts under one roof. Because it is our love for the mountains, nature and the region that unites us all and drives us in our professional activities day after day.
In this sense, sustainability means more to us than just a collection of individual measures. With the Bergliebe brand, we are building a bridge for people, nature and the economy. We combine social considerations with economic and ecological ones. Because at the end of the day, these three areas can only be considered together. So that we and future generations can enjoy and experience the unique habitat of the Vorarlberg mountains. How we want to achieve this in concrete terms is shown in the current sustainability report of the Vorarlberg mountain railroads.
