TAP Sponsors the Falakro Ski Season Opening

Greece. The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP AG) sponsored the three-day Falakro grand opening event marking the start of the Falakro Mountain ski season. The Falakro grand opening took place from 16 to 18 December and aimed to place the Falakro Mountain on the tourism and sports map, whilst at the same time promoting environmental awareness. Honouring its commitment to contribute to the development and prosperity of local communities, TAP continues to invest in socially and environmentally conscious initiatives as part of its Social and Environmental Investment (SEI) programme that focuses on strengthening the livelihood and improving the quality of life in communities along the pipeline’s route.

In the framework of the opening event, which included a number of activities, the organisers hosted the workshop "Live the mountain experience, Falakro." This acquainted visitors with the sports they can do throughout the year, while enjoying the natural beauty of the mountain.

Visitors took part for free in several sports activities such as hiking, mountaineering, climbing, skiing, archery, mountain running, mountain biking, paragliding, snow yoga, flying fox, etc. Moreover, well-known athletes, coaches and experts talked about their sports via presentations, videos and demonstrations. Weekend activities also included parties, live concerts, as well as a photography exhibition showing the rare flora and fauna species of the mountain. In total more than 3,500 visitors participated in the various activities.

This initiative was a celebration of tourism, sports and environmental awareness with a particular focus on youth, given that at least 1,000 students from primary schools, junior high and high schools from Northern Greece participated in the event, during the very first day.

TAP was pleased to be able to contribute to significantly boosting an entrepreneurial activity in the region of Drama and support its promotion as a tourism destination.
