In Gschwandtkopf, skiing has a rich and fascinating legacy starting in the late 1800s. Local farmers traveling over the snow-covered fields on wooden skis were the first skiers in Gschwandtkopf. Founded in 1899, the first ski club in Gschwandtkop was “Seefelder Schneeschuhverein”. In Gschwandtkopf, the ski club planned the first races and ski excursions as well as pushed the sport to both residents and guests.<\/p>

Built in 1933, the first cable car in Gschwandtkopf was Austria’s third one. The cable vehicle had two seats and capacity of 120 persons per hour. Both skiing and tourism made use of the cable car, which was a big draw for guests from nearby and far-off.<\/p>

The Winter Olympics’ cross-country skiing competitions in Innsbruck, 1964 and 1976 were hosted by Gschwandtkopf. New slopes, cable cars, and lifts were included into the updated and enlarged ski resort. Attracting several world-class skiers such Bjrn Daehlie, Marit Bjrgen, and Petter Northug, the ski slope also staged several FIS Cross-Country Ski World Cups.<\/p>

Gschwandtkopf hosted the Seefeld-based Nordic World Ski Championships ski jumping events in 2019. The ski area built a new ski jumping hill featuring a 125-meter landing area and a 100-meter inrun. Stefan Kraft, Maren Lundby, and Ryoyu Kobayashi among other world-class ski jumpers participated in the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup, which the ski area also hosted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
