Area of use between runway and game zone

When winter arrives on Lake Oeschinen, the most intensive weeks of the year begin for the Game Ranger Service and the Ski & Snowmaking Service. While a unit prepares the area for winter sports guests, the ranger ensures that sensitive game rest areas are respected. To do this, both teams move on steep terrain every day — often alone and away from visible infrastructure.

Traveling with caterpillar quads

In order to safely transport materials and equipment, employees rely on off-road caterpillar quads. They make it possible to travel through deep snow, narrow sections of forest and steep passages. At the same time, they require a lot of experience: limited visibility, changing snow covers or suddenly appearing game make every trip challenging.

Working alone during winter time

With the start of the game season, peace is paramount. The ranger controls restricted areas, documents animal movements and sensitizes guests. The ski and snow teams are also often out alone — often early in the morning or late in the evening when the area is empty. A fall, a technical defect or a stuck vehicle can quickly become critical in such moments. To ensure that all emergency personnel are safe on the road, the Oeschinensee gondola uses the lone work safety solution from Uepaa AG. It supports employees unobtrusively in the background and ensures that help can be securely triggered at any time.
