Idea & Philosophy

We bring the alpine winter dream to China

Idea
Our Mission
Our Approach

With SnowHow China, we introduce the thrill and excitement of winter sports and alpine holidays to the fast growing community of Chinese snow enthusiasts.

SnowHow China is building a bridge between China and the Alps, the real cradle of winter sports. We invite all Chinese winter enthusiasts to discover the fun and excitement of winter sports in the Alps and to be part of the global community of snow lovers.

Close cooperation between the Alps and China will unleash the potential for growth in China's domestic winter tourism. Growth in enthusiasm for winter sports amongst the Chinese will, in turn, benefit global snow and winter communities. Our platform is operated by alpine winter insiders in close cooperation with Chinese media experts.

SnowHow China supports China in its goal of becoming a leading winter sports nation, and as host of the glorious 2022 Winter Olympics. We bring the real alpine winter lifestyle to the Middle Kingdom.

We foster know-how transfer, east-west partnerships and alpine winter excitement in the Middle Kingdom for the mutual benefit of China, the Alps, and the global winter sports community!

Fun with snow and ice are at the core of our activities! We believe in experience, enthusiasm, and learning-by-doing.

By contributing its specialist expertise, Snow-How China provides China’s own enthusiasts with the 'missing link' in this early stage of development of the country's winter tourism industry: “SnowHow”!

Jakob Falkner
Entrepreneur, CEO Bergbahnen Sölden
SnowHow China is based on the necessity of alpine companies to expand their market and benefit from the growing interest among Chinese tourists for winter holidays. This idea has enormous potential. It can act as an effective sales promoter, and as a platform for inbound tourism activities for alpine companies and is therefore unique!
Alois Schranz
Founder MedAlp Sport Clinics
I’m an expert in dealing with exclusive clients. I was also a start-up entrepreneur myself in my youth and I developed emergency aid rucksacks. SnowHow China has successfully anticipated the most promising development in alpine tourism: China!
Klaus Mutschlechner
Entrepreneur; CEO Intercable, Orange Fox
As founder of Orange Fox, a company developing drills and technical equipment for winter sports, I love the SnowHow China idea. There is huge potential in Asia and more and more tourists from the Middle Kingdom will travel to the Alps. SnowHow China is an ideal combination of both potentials. “Snow-How China, with its virtual ‘Snow Academy’ puts Alpine expertise at the core of its strategy and contributes to educating Chinese enthusiasts ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics.”
Armin Zoeggeler
Top Athlete & Olympic Gold Medal Winner
“Having had first-hand experience at Winter Olympics, I know how important it is to have an engaged host nation fan base who enjoy winter sports and who want to embrace the alpine holiday lifestyle. Snow-How has a great potential to help the Chinese people enthusiastically embrace both these activities.”
Tobias Gröber
Head of ISPO Group
“The Asian market is becoming very important for the future of winter sports, triggered by the upcoming Olympic Games in South Korea and Beijing. To connect Asia and the Alps is a critical task and I want to congratulate Snow-How China for taking up this challenge.”
Andrea Del Frari
Director Skirama Kronplatz
“We have to explore distant markets to ensure our existing capacity is properly utilized and to access new revenue streams. Snow-How China offers an efficient way to promote Skirama Kronplatz in the Middle Kingdom and to attract Chinese tourists to our destinations and slopes.”

Dr. Hans Rubatscher
Entrepreneur, Pitztaler Gletscher
“We can no longer develop a growth strategy for our ski region without having a ‘vision’ of new markets, so China is a clearly defined future market for us. Our intercultural differences make it essential for us to approach this market in the right way. We, therefore, place our trust in the Snow-How team’s ‘China’ competence, which will help us to establish a long-term enthusiasm for winter sports among the Chinese and encourage them to take holidays in the Pitztal / Kaunertal region.”
