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.

right sounds ;-)
