Auszeichnungen zur Förderung von Qualität und Innovation im Wintersport. Gemeinsam für ein sicheres und nachhaltiges Wintersporterlebnis.
Die Stiftung Sicherheit im Skisport engagiert sich nicht nur in der Forschung und Wissensvermittlung, sondern setzt auch gezielt Anreize zur Weiterentwicklung und Qualitätssicherung im Wintersport. Durch die Vergabe von Auszeichnungen fördert sie wissenschaftliche Arbeiten und innovative Projekte, die einen nachhaltigen Beitrag zur Sicherheit, Gesundheit und Umweltverträglichkeit im Schneesport leisten.
Neben der Förderung von Forschung und Innovationen vergibt die Stiftung auch Prädikate, die als Qualitätssiegel für besonders sichere, serviceorientiere und nachhaltige Angebote im Wintersport stehen. Dazu zählen etwa die Prädikate “geprüfte Skigebiete”, “langlauffreundliche Betriebe” sowie “geprüfter Skiverleih Noridsch”. Diese Prädikate basieren auf klar definierten Kriterien und regelmäßigen Überprüfungen, um ein hohes Maß an Qualität und Sicherheit für Gäste und Wintersporttreibende zu gewährleisten.

Kurzbeschreibung
As part of the certification program, SIS has been recognizing ski resorts that meet specific quality and safety standards since the 2009/2010 winter season. The certification establishes uniform standards and provides guests with reliable guidance. An inspection committee of approximately 20 members evaluates the resort, a process that can take several days, depending on the size of the area. After a successful inspection, the resorts receive the respective certification for three years. Regular inspections ensure that the criteria continue to be met.
