My Future Day in the Mountains

Isabell and Noëlle report:

Today, we got to take a look behind the scenes at Pizol and learn about lots of exciting jobs. From the office to the workshop to the snow groomer—we saw it all. We’ll tell you all about our experiences here.

An Exciting Day on Pizol

Our "Future Day" at Pizol started today at 8:30 a.m. First, Steffi and Laura showed us around and introduced us to the other employees. Laura is in her second year of her commercial apprenticeship at Pizolbahnen. We even got to enjoy a delicious hot Ovomaltine during the tour.

After that, Laura showed us everything she does as part of her training. We also got to work on the computer ourselves, make copies, fill out forms, and do lots of other things. Later, we got to watch at the front desk to see how guests are greeted and what all needs to be done there.

After that, Marina showed us her workspace. Among other things, she handles hotel reservations and answers guest inquiries. We were able to watch her at work, too. In between, Steffi treated us to some delicious tea.

After that, we moved on to the marketing department. There, Steffi showed us everything she does and how the Pizol advertisements are created.

Up the mountain on the snowcat

Things got really exciting in the afternoon! We visited Melch, the workshop manager, at the midway station and learned all about what he does there.

After that, we got to ride along on the smallest snowcat from the middle station to the top station. That was really cool! Once we got to the top, we even got to drive it ourselves for a little while. We had a lot of fun doing that.

Afterward, we met Andrea, the head of snowmaking. He showed us the snowmaking control center and explained how the snow lances and snow cannons are controlled. It was fascinating to see how much technology goes into ensuring there’s enough snow on the slopes in winter.

Our own story on pizol.com

After our trip up the mountain, we drove back to the office. There, we were allowed to visit the marketing department again and write our own story about Future Day. And the best part: We even got to publish it ourselves on the pizol.com website!

By 5:00 p.m., our Future Day was already over, and we were allowed to go home.

It was a really great day, and we learned a lot of new things. Of course, the coolest part was riding on the snow groomer!
