Of course, the 43-year-old is in the habit of occasionally combining his winter passion with his job. As head of the Dresdner branch of the outdoor equipment supplier “Globetrotter” he already has to know “where you can send people who fancy nature and winter sports,” says Jäpel. “Even around Dresden there are so many opportunities for winter sports.” You do not always have to look for the comparison with the Alps, because as nice as it is there – “for a cross-country round after work, they are out of the question.”
Instead, Jäpel and his team are always looking for ideas to whet their appetite for winter in Saxony, for example with test weekends for snowshoes or skis, where customers can first try out which sport is right for them.
