The canton of Lucerne has closed the ski slopes for the time being. As before in Schwyz, the Lucerne government decided not to grant a permit to the ski areas. Glarus, Uri, Obwalden and Nidwalden, meanwhile, will reopen the ski areas from Wednesday.
Due to the still very tense epidemiological situation and the persistently high occupancy rate in Lucerne hospitals, the government decided to wait until January 8, 2021 before granting permission for the operation of the ski areas in the canton of Lucerne , which includes Sörenberg. , the Lucerne health department announced Tuesday.
“The government is discouraged”
Whether the ski areas can resume their operations on January 8, 2021 will be decided on Wednesday of next week, based on the epidemiological situation and the situation in Lucerne hospitals.
Theo Schnider, president of Bergbahnen Sörenberg, cannot understand that. “The Lucerne government is discouraged and will not open the ski areas in the canton of Lucerne until January 8,” he tells BLICK. “That is a serious blow to Lucerne’s largest winter sports provider and Entlebuch’s largest employer, Bergbahnen Sörenberg AG.”
“We suffer”
He is disappointed and will now calmly analyze the situation. “As difficult as it may be, it is important now to remain calm. Over two weekends, we have shown that our protection measures are effective and that our concept works without compromise, ”says Schnider. “That angers you. We suffer. “
The canton now has to think about how to keep the damage within limits. “Now many companies do not care about the word profit, but about the word existence. We did the best we could, we tackled the challenges, we did all of our homework, ”says Schnider.
