North47 wins at the 2025 #ABTOTOneShot Photo Competition
“I took this in March just after a fresh fall of snow – I was instructing a ski group and on the chairlift when I looked across and saw the gondolas and just had to try and take a picture. The cable cars are going to be replaced next year after 40 years so they are a landmark feature in the resort and I’m really pleased how well the picture came out.” - Cory Coupe, North47.
We’re thrilled to share that North47 has won the Landscapes & Landmarks category in ABTOT’s 2025 #ABTOTOneShot photo competition. Our winning image, captured by Cory Coupe in Wagrain, frames the iconic Grafenberg gondolas against a fresh snowfall—an atmospheric snapshot of the resorts we call home.
Why this matters
Recognition from our sector: The competition is judged by ABTOT’s panel and celebrates travel organisers’ destinations and experiences.
A nod to our Austrian base: The winning shot shines a light on Snow Space Salzburg (Alpendorf–Wagrain–Flachau), where we host the majority of our school groups.
Who is ABTOT—and why it’s important for our travellers
ABTOT (Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust) is an approved body that oversees financial protection for tour operators under the UK Package Travel Regulations. In plain English: when you book with an ABTOT‑bonded member like North47, your payments are protected and there’s a clear process in place if something goes wrong. That consumer protection sits alongside our ATOL‑protected flight packages, giving schools extra peace of mind when booking.
Thank you
A huge thanks to our partners, party leaders, instructors and reps who help us tell the story of school ski trips in Austria—on and off the slopes. And congrats to the other category winners across People & Culture, Cities & Buildings, and Wildlife & Birding.
