2016 History St. Anton am Arlberg T he cradle of Alpine skiing and modern cable car technology In 1901 six pioneers from St. Anton am Arlberg founded the Ski-Club Arlberg. In 1903 Hannes Schneider revolutionized alpine ski technique and founded the first ski school in Austria and, in 1937 the Galzigbahn in St. Anton became the first cable car especially designed for winter operation. T he Ski-Club Arlberg which was founded in 1901 by the six St. Anton pioneers organized in 1904 the first „General ski race“. The participants had to walk over 1,000 meters in altitude through snow from St. Anton to the start near the Ulmer Hütte on the Valluga. The long distance downhill ski race led from the Valluga over the Galzig to St. Anton. It soon became clear that the usual Telemark skiing style had to be changed for the high-alpine terrain of the Arlberg because the Telemark lunge style demanded extraordinary stamina and ended repeatedly with a fall. The 13-year-old Arlberger Hannes Schneider would revolutionize alpine skiing technique; by firstly shifting his weight when turning and going into a tuck on the straight. As early as 1907 he taught guests from the St. Anton hotel „Alte Post“ in his new Stem turn technique. In 1920 he founded the first ski school in Austria and in the following years featured in 15 mountain and ski films. 1928 was the year of the first, now legendary Arlberg-Kandahar race in St. Anton - a milestone for the international breakthrough of alpine ski races. ince 1937: Pioneering cable car technology work in the S Arlberg In 1937 the first winter operation designed gondola in the Alpine region was built in St. Anton on the Galzig - the Galzig cable car. In the 1950s it was followed by the St. Christoph and the Valluga cable cars, the Valluga cable car was at the time the highest lift in the Alps. Also in the 1950s came Austria’s first fixed double chair lift on the Kapall. The1960s saw further alterations of the existing lifts, and in addition, the variety on offer was extended by, amongst others, the Valluga lift, the Osthang chair lift, as well as the Tanzböden T-bar. During the 1970s there was constant investment in the expansion of the area, one of the investments being the Rendl cable car, thus opening up the Rendl skiing area with three T-bar lifts. In addition to the permanent investment in avalanche barriers, in slope improvements and in the art of snow making, in the 1980s, the following lifts were built: Valfageher chair lift, Zammermoos chair lift, Schindlergrat chair lift, Riffl I & II chair lifts and the Mattun chair lift, as well as the renovation of the Kapall chair lift. In the next decade there would be continued investment in snow making, as well as slope development, the update of already existing lifts and new ones such as the Kapall and Gampen. In the years prior to the FIS World Ski Championships 2001 the focus was around the areas of the Gampen and Kapall: enlargement of the snow making system, opening of the Fang chair lift and the Nasserein cable car. Today, the 97 cable cars and lifts in the Arlberg now constitute a truly hightech lift system. An absolute world first in 2006 was the new Galzigbahn, a highly modern Funitel cable car, combined with newly developed giant ferries wheel technology: wheels with an impressive diameter of 9.3 m allow the guests level entry into the gondolas. In 2009 the Rendl cable car was replaced by an 8 man single cable, cable car with heated seats and the new Rendl restaurant was opened. 2013 saw the new Tanzböden chair lift on Galzig come in operation: a 6 man detachable chair lift with weather protection hood and automatic child safety - a further first in the field of cable car technology.
