ABOUT US
Playing Pinball and enjoying social live is a passion for both of them for a longer time. Massimo bought his 1st pinball machines a long time ago and came recently back to this hobby. Stefan is the head of the Pinball Club FlippArena in Vöcklabruck (www.flipparena.at) and owner of RS-Pinball e. U. (www.rs-pinball.at).
Both try to enjoy the live and had so much fun together on a nice weekend in June in Cari that the passion and beautiful scenery around has been the fundament for the decision to give more people the chance to enjoy all this together in a never happened combination.
So the idea for Pinball Alps was born and will come true for the 1st time already a few weeks after the decision.
Massimo’s Pinball Machines will be used for the tournament and will be transported by Stefan to the top of Cari to the Osteria Belvedere. Further friends will help to make the weekend a lot of fun and both hope to have a successful weekend so that this event can take place maybe annually.
We are looking forward to see you in CARI.
