Chronicle


1969

It began in 1969, where the first drag lift on the southern side of the Schmittenhöhebahn was built, the Hochmaislift. This drag lift was built on the property of Bruno Mayr. Where he then decided to build with his wife Ingrid Mayr, a small ski hut next to the exit of the Hochmais lift.

1973

the Osthang lift was build opposite on the Sonnkogel.

1976

Bruno Mayr decided to enlarge the Schmiedhofalm, this modification then allowed his daughters Jutta & Ingrid to join in the family business.

1980

the oldest daughter brought her boyfriend Aldo Wurzer into the family business. With the birth of her daughter, Miriam Mayr, the 3rd generation was born.

1983

the third drag lift was built on the Schmittenhöhe on the south side, the small Schmiedhof lift.

1988

Jutta Mayr and Aldo Wurzer took over the Schmiedhofalm.

2005

the south side of the Schmittehöhe became snow making facilities which allows for 100% snow guarantee. Furthermore the smaller Hochmais drag lift was turned into one of the most modern chair lifts.

The Hochmaisbahn is a 6 seated chair lift, with heated seats, a wind bubble and has a conveyor belt for easy access. Familie Mayr also enlarged in this special year, with Oskar-Friedrich Mayr (4th generation) thus the next generation is growing.
