President
Thomas Spiegelberg
For over 35 years, Thomas Spiegelberg has been successfully active in the management of the national and international cable car market as a manufacturer of all types of cable cars. As a graduate engineer in mechanical engineering, his main interest lies in the construction of complex and innovative solutions for optimised customer applications. For this reason, the former Vice President of the Board of Directors of BARTHOLET AG Seilbahnen is interested in these future-oriented glacier snowmaking projects and believes that he can make a positive contribution to glacier conservation and drinking water storage with ice stupas and with organic cover sheets for snow and ice.

Mission
The funded projects aim to support people who are highly dependent on the melt water supply from glaciers and to protect the environment. At least 200 million people worldwide will face water shortages if their glaciers disappear.
A new ecological snowmaking technique
zum Schutz großer Gletscher ohne Einsatz von elektrischem Strom befindet sich in Entwicklung, während covers zum Erhalt kleinerer Gletscher verwendet werden sollen.
