On the occasion of Alexander Schmid's silver medal win in the team competition at the Beijing Olympic Games, the OBERSTDORF · KLEINWALSERTAL BERGBAHNEN (mountain railways) congratulated Alexander Schmid at an awards ceremony. "We are delighted to support Alex in his sport with our sponsorship and thus to have contributed a small part to his success," said Dr. Andreas Gapp, Chairman of the OK-Bergbahnen (mountain railways). "Many ski club children train at Söllereck in particular. Alex and Manu Schmid are great role models for these children and encourage them in training and races. That is one of the main reasons for our commitment to Alex and Manu Schmid,"
said fellow board member Henrik Volpert. After the awards ceremony, Alex immediately headed off to his next training session in Kranjska Gora. The excellent slope conditions in Oberstdorf and Kleinwalsertal demonstrate that you don't have to travel far to enjoy great skiing.
