SkiWelt history in detail

Mountain railway cooperation as a global role model

An unprecedented success story began in 1977: in 1977, the cable cars of six villages between Brixental Valley and Wilder Kaiser joined forces: The SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser - Brixental was born. Leonhard from Going, Schorsch from Ellmau, Hansi from Scheffau, Toni from Hopfgarten, Herbert from Söll, Franz from Westendorf and Hans from Brixen tell...

SkiWelt has always been a community project, founded by visionaries and regional thinkers, which has always acted as a driving force for an entire region. Since 1977, the SkiWelt cable car companies alone have invested over half a billion euros in the region and created countless jobs.
Behind the successful SkiWelt brand, however, there have always been the people and the cooperation between SkiWelt colleagues on an equal footing. The personal commitment and foresight of many shareholders, the cooperation with landowners, hut owners, tourism professionals and many dedicated individuals were at the heart of it all. From the pioneers of the tough early years to the approximately 500 dedicated employees today, SkiWelt is a joint success project that is firmly anchored in the region and an important part of the identity of an entire region. Of course, what ultimately counts is the economic success of the cooperation. However, without the community with handshake quality within the SkiWelt family, the personal contact with each other and the common interest in putting oneself above others, SkiWelt would certainly not be as successful as it is today.
