Our aim is it to support our customers in realizing visions on their mountains with creative ideas, technology and know-how from the first planning sketches until the operation of new facilities. Our strength is the forecast of frequencies, visitor numbers and economic results - as the basis for reliable planning and financing of investment projects.

In the last 20 years the company’s founder, Christoph Schrahe, has completed more than 150 projects for private companies and public authorities in the German low mountain ranges, leading German resorts in the Alps, Austria, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania and Pakistan. These included the development of mountain destinations, visitor forecasts and economic feasibility studies both on regional and local scale.
