From September 17 to 19, 2025, around 150 professionals will gather in Oberstdorf (Germany) to exchange expertise and insights. Mountain Summit gives companies the chance to collaborate with clients on industry topics, showcase solutions, and build personal connections.

At the same time, the event encourages learning from each other and exploring new perspectives.

Mountain Summit – who we are

Mountain Summit is an experienced player in the field of alpine technologies. For over seven years, we have successfully organized the industry event “BergBahnCamp” for alpine tourism and the cable car industry. This year, we are expanding our platform.

Mountain Summit combines the strengths of a traditional mountain camp with the advantages of more established formats – including topic-focused keynotes, practical insights, and workshops.

Leitmotif: Resonance in Alpine Tourism

The theme of Mountain Summit 2025 is “Resonance in Alpine Tourism.“ The focus will be on the diverse interactions between guests, employees, locals, leaders, and the special demands of alpine tourism. The main idea is to create a mutual understanding of the needs.

It’s designed by leaders, both from within the industry and related sectors, for leaders, with the aim of shaping the future of alpine tourism and the cable car sector through meaningful dialogue.

The big and small questions

Mountain Summit brings together up to 150 decision-makers. Besides representatives from the ski resort industry, among our speakers will be amusement park managers and their suppliers, hotel executives, and developers of digital technologies for the tourism sector.

Together with politicians and communication specialists, we will discuss how to involve local communities in the development of tourism and build dialogue and cooperation in a way that ensures residents support tourism, which in turn drives economic growth.

In the cultural segment, experts will share what guests today expect from ski resorts – simply skiing is no longer enough. How can you make your destination more attractive in the summer? What are the trends in mountain-top gastronomy?

We will explore the development of the alpine business ecosystem from all angles – to get a comprehensive picture and ensure that every participant gains valuable insights into where to go next.

„Benefit from the collective intelligence of the industry, the knowledge of experienced experts, and a network that unites alpine tourism professionals, ski resort operators, suppliers, restaurateurs, hoteliers, ski schools, sports rental companies, and associations,“ explains the initiator of Mountain Summit and director of way2meet, Gerald Pichlmair.

The cable car industry‘s perspective

To make the program and event as cable car industry-friendly as possible, the organizer, way2meet, relies on an advisory board of industry experts. The board is composed of both women and men, representing all four Germanspeaking Alpine countries (South Tyrol, Switzerland, Austria, Germany), as well as cable car operators and tourism professionals (see pictures above)

Also on board are the Oberstdorf Kleinwalsertal ski resort as the host and SI – Seilbahnen International as the media partner. So far, several companies have already joined as partners (see header image of this article), and this list is constantly growing.

Why us?

As a company specializing in alpine tourism and cable cars, we carefully follow the latest developments in the industry and invite speakers who truly have valuable insights to share.

We create the relevant program for our participants, bringing in experts both from within and outside the sector, who can provide fresh insights and help us view existing challenges from new perspectives.

We approach the development of alpine tourism from various angles: from understanding what tourists want today and the trends to expect in the future, to practical workshops where our partners will showcase different solutions for optimizing business operations.

At the same time, we create an atmosphere of relaxed professional communication, where attendees can build meaningful connections and lay the groundwork for future collaboration. For our Englishspeaking guests translation services will be provided, so everyone can fully engage and benefit from the event.
