HTI Group gets Narvik ready for the 2029 World Ski Championships

During the INTERALPIN trade fair in Innsbruck, a contract was signed for a major order between the Narvikfjellet Allmenn AS ski resort and the companies LEITNER, PRINOTH, and DEMACLENKO. The Norwegian ski resort operator is investing over 53 million euros in a complete alpine package from the HTI Group for the 2029 World Ski Championships.

The venue for the 2029 Alpine World Ski Championships in Narvik is relying fully on the strengths of the HTI Group. The prestigious contract includes the construction of one gondola lift, one chairlift and three surface lifts, as well as the order of approximately 100 snow guns and 12 snow groomers. The group is also responsible for the accompanying construction work in the ski resort of the town of 15,000 inhabitants north of the Arctic Circle. This will showcase the World Championships venue from its most modern technological side in four years' time. While LEITNER will ensure safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient transportation, PRINOTH, as an “Official Supplier,” supported by its local partner Owren, will guarantee perfect slope conditions and digitally supported snow management with its vehicles.

DEMACLENKO is supplying the complete snowmaking infrastructure for the Alpine Ski World Championships. In cooperation with local partner Taubane, the company is constructing a pump station, a pressure boosting system, and a new storage reservoir. The contract also includes laying the entire pipe network and supplying the snow guns. Thanks to DEMACLENKO's digital solutions, the result is an interconnected and perfectly coordinated snowmaking system that guarantees maximum efficiency and maximum resource conservation.

The prestigious contract was signed at the INTERALPIN trade fair in Innsbruck. Chairman Paal Traelvik and Martin Leitner (Vice President of the HTI Group) emphasized the enormous significance of this comprehensive and sustainable investment. "On the one hand, this contract is a success for our entire group of companies. On the other hand, it also demonstrates the strengths of the individual companies, which will now work together to contribute to what we hope will be an unforgettable World Ski Championships. In addition,

 

the package also creates a long-term basis for state-of-the-art and safe ski operation after this major event in 2029," said Martin Leitner.
