Abstract: Winter sports tourism requires significant amounts of energy, which is a challenge for the environment. A sustainable solution could lie in the implementation of smart microgrids based on renewable energy and the active participation of the community. Winter destinations could differ in case of smart microgrids acceptance from other places due to their specific usage situation (leisure instead of everyday life) and thus have a higher acceptance for innovative energy systems.
