Climate Change and Climate Adaptation

How Olang is preparing for the challenges of a changing environment

Together for Tomorrow – Olang Actively Shapes the Change

In Olang, our mountains and natural landscapes take center stage – and with them, our responsibility. Climate change presents us with new challenges: warmer summers, less reliable snow, shifting vegetation, and changing weather patterns. At the same time, it opens up opportunities – if we act early.

By developing a Climate Adaptation Plan and through the existing Municipal Climate Plan, we are taking an active approach to this path. Our goal is to preserve our home, promote sustainable development, and ensure a livable and recreational environment for both residents and guests. Every action, every idea counts – let’s make a difference together.

Strategies for a Resilient and Future-Oriented Destination

Climate change is visibly transforming our region: mild winters, hot summers, and irregular rainfall. These developments affect snow reliability, water resources, flora and fauna, as well as tourism offerings.

The Olang Tourist Association is currently developing a Climate Adaptation Plan. It outlines strategies and measures to make our region more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Once completed, the plan will be published.
