Ski school, summer pastures and plans for the future – a conversation with Leonhard Pertl

In this episode, Leonhard Pertl is our guest – owner of the largest ski school on Turracher Höhe, hunter, farmer, family man and forward-thinking tourism professional. We talk about his eventful journey from a small ski school office to what is now one of the region’s leading ski schools with more than 50 instructors, his second passion – farming – and how he keeps busy in both summer and winter, whether putting up fences, harvesting Swiss stone pine cones or planning the next ski season.

He also reveals a new project: a planned archery course designed to bring together sport, nature and adventure in a new way. A conversation about the successful interplay between farming and tourism, responsibility, staying grounded and the magic of the Turracher mountains – and why authenticity is always the best way forward.
