Widiverse Part III.
Reunion with Widi and his friends

The success story of Bergbahnen Hochoetz & Sunkid continues

Place: Oetz /Year: 2019 / Product: Wood'n'Fun

The Widiversum is a success story that is second to none and radiates far beyond the Hochoetz ski area. Today, Widi and his friends are the Ötztal brand ambassadors for families and children and are no longer just present at their original location at the Hochoetz mountain station. Three new themed trails have been expanding the family paradise since summer 2019, transforming it into one of the largest children's adventure worlds in the Alps.

In 2014, Bergbahnen Hochoetz planned the construction of a new storage pond and various infrastructure measures. An essential part of the concept was also the creation of an adventure world around the new reservoir to be built. In the 5 years since Bergbahnen Hochoetz and Sunkid began initial planning, the Hochoetz family ski area has developed from an almost pure winter sports destination to a year-round destination and drawcard for the entire region. With this year's expansion, Widiversum, including its themed trails, is likely to have developed into one of Europe's largest connected nature-based adventure worlds.

A success that also pays off for the mountain railroads and the entire region.
