history
The foundation stone was laid on August 3, 2000 and the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on September 13 ; the hall opened on January 7, 2001.
The initiator was Marc Girardelli , four-time ski world champion and five-time overall ski world cup winner. The hall offers workplaces for around 100 employees. The investment volume of the operating company operating as a GmbH & Co. KG was 50 million euros.
In July 2004, the Van der Valk Group Germany joined as a new investor . Also in July 2004 the hall of the alpincenter was extensively rebuilt. From the opening to mid-2006, around 2.3 million guests have visited the hall.
In the summer of 2011, shifts due to subsidence of the dump were found on various pillars on which the ski hall is built, making it necessary to discuss the problem in the city's planning committee.
