Since the winter season 2012/13, LEITNER has been a sponsor of the famous Hahnenkamm Races. The event is now called “Hahnenkamm Races transported by LEITNER”. The expansion of the partnership with Kitzbühel in conjunction with the sponsoring of the Hahnenkamm Races offers an incredible platform for LEITNER. The event, running since 1931, attracts around 100,000 spectators to the downhill and slalom slopes.
LEITNER has been a Premium Partner of the Ski World Cup in Alta Badia since 2014. The international specialist in ropeway systems is the sponsor of the VIP area. The cooperation is based on a successful business relationship dating back many years between the Alta Badia ski resort and LEITNER. In the exclusive LEITNER VIP Lounge, two top chefs from South Tyrol will create unusual gastronomic specialties under the motto
"Fair Cooking – fair & local". The initiative is supported by the World Fair Trade Organization, WFTO. While the name LEITNER stands for high-tech ropeway systems and top quality, the WFTO aims for greater fairness in world trade. Both are united in the fact that they have a regional base and global networks.
For the past 25 years, SAAC Snow & Alpine Awareness Camps have been offering free training in how to reduce risk in alpine terrain. By supporting this initiative, we hope to help make things safer for everyone who spends time in the mountains. As a leading ropeway system manufacturer, we at LEITNER consider it our duty to carry people safely and comfortably onto the mountains. By assisting SAAC Camps, we also aim to enable everyone involved in alpine sports to have free access to this unique service.
LEITNER, PRINOTH and DEMACLENKO have arranged a strategic alliance with the Cortina Foundation. The highest standards of innovation and perfection are the common denominators of the partnership that started in 2018. Cortina d'Ampezzo intends to organize sports events at the highest level and offer the territory a state-of-the-art infrastructure. These targets can be achieved thanks to the partnership with the HTI Group. A part of the arrangement envisages the provision of PRINOTH snow groomers, snowmaking systems from DEMACLENKO and ropeway systems from LEITNER. Two ropeways, the Freccia nel Cielo and the Cortina Skyline, are already revolutionizing mobility in the area. With the partnership, the HTI Group intends to further increase the quality level of sports events, such as the 2021 World Ski Championships and make a technological contribution to the success of the planned events.
