Our goal is to further develop the Vierschanzentournee into the ultimate premium property in winter sports. In such turbulent times as these we above all need a reliable and competent partner like Infront in order to achieve this.”

Peter Schröcksnadel, President Austria Ski Federation, said: “Since 2010 our partnership with Infront for the Austrian events of the Vierschanzentournee has developed successfully and has presented a great look and feel. We are pleased to prolong this reliable cooperation for another period and look forward to further growing this relationship.”
