Even the bloomberg article states:

> Already, the summer generates 60% of the tourism intake, according to Garmisch Mayor Sigrid Meierhofer.

Indeed, hiking doesnt require you to spend moneys on rental equipment. It's a bit different for mountain biking - most of the time you need lift passes to enjoy the mountain. And with the explosion of electric bikes rentals in the last years, and there are lots of growth opportunities for generating revenue there as well.

And it's not only about hiking/biking, of course.

Of course, having more places to ski is better than having less places - my main concern is people and their jobs, and not specific resort activities per se.
