The name Bazora refers to a group in Frastanz (about 1035 m above sea level , mostly holiday homes), an approximately 1300 m long plot of land (about 1000 m above sea level to 1440 m above sea level ), an alp ( 1415 m above sea level) A. ), a ski lift and an inn.
Surname
The Bazora area today refers to a larger area than what the original field name referred to. Bazora has a Rhaeto-Romanic origin and is said to be derived from Latin : "pratu de supra" ("upper meadow"). This originally meant the alpine area under the Gurtisspitze .
history
The parcel and the alp have been cultivated since the Middle Ages. On September 3, 1937, Albert Scheurer (born September 13, 1910), an organizer of the transfer of volunteers from Spain to Switzerland, was arrested in Bazora and imprisoned in Feldkirch until January 1938.
Topography, geography, location and traffic
In addition to the small settlement with the holiday homes, the term Bazora also means the slope that is oriented from northwest to southeast and rises. This parcel can be clearly seen from the Rheintalautobahn near Feldkirch.
To the west of the Bazora parcel is the Gaviduraalpe, to the east the village of Gurtis ( Nenzing ), to the north, towards the valley, the Stutzberg and Stutz parcel and to the south the Gurtisspitze ( 1778 m above sea level ).
Vorarlberger Flysch with moraine debris forms the geological subsoil of the slope .
Management and nature
Alpe Bazora and the parcel of the same name are managed by the Alpine cooperative Frastanz Alpe Gavadura - Bazora - Frastanz. The Alpe Gavidura is a sub-alp of the Bazoraalpe.
Remarkable are the largely preserved rough meadows and fens as well as a large variety of mushrooms, plants and birds.
Sports
Bazora ski lift
The "Vorarlberger Landeszeitung" newspaper reported on December 22, 1906 about the possibilities that the Bazora offered for the then new skiing sport in Vorarlberg. In 1926 the Frastanz ski club was founded in Frastanz (first chairman: Josef Hanusch) and on January 30, 1927 the first club race was held at the Bazora. The start was below the Alpe Bazora, the finish was in Felsenau. The approximately 8 km long race track consisted of two thirds of the downhill course and one third of cross-country skiing. In the same year, the ski club held ski courses for beginners and others near the new Bazorahhotel. Advanced. In 1928 the new ski hut of the ski club on the Bazora was officially opened after four months of construction.
On January 13, 1929, the Feldkirch winter sports club opened a ski jump near the Bazorah hotel. Edwin Hartmann won the opening competition ahead of Franz Josef Tiefenthaler. A year later, the first Vorarlberg State Ski Championships were held here. On February 13, 1938, the 13th Vorarlberg relay race was held at the Bazora, a race over 4 x 9 kilometers.
From 1948 to 1953 a toboggan lift was in operation at the Bazora. In 1952, several safety requirements were issued, which would have made continued operation uneconomical. A surface lift with a circulating system with a length of not quite a kilometer was built, which began trial operation in 1953/54. At that time, after the Zürserseelift, it was the longest drag lift in Vorarlberg. In 1964, Eugen Linher built the so-called six-fir lift, which only existed until 1972. Around 1954, the construction of a chair lift was also considered to cope with the large number of skiers at the time. Subsequently, a 1350 meter long cable car from Frastanz ( Frastafeders ) to the Bazorahotel. Both projects were not implemented. The ski area is now part of the ski area with the drag lifts in Gurtis.
Paragliding
The starting point Bazora (about 1390 m above sea level ) is located near the mountain station of the Bazora ski lift with an easy level of difficulty, which is why this starting point is also approved as a training site. The launch site can only be reached on foot (approx. 45 minutes walk and 300 meters in altitude ).
Gliding
From the Bazora and Amerlügen (e.g. from the Sturnabühel ) take-offs with gliders were carried out from August 1934 and 1935 respectively and shortly after the Second World War . The starting places had been officially approved since 1935. Around 1950 z. B. took a flight from the Bazorahang. The glider with the name “Bazora” (15 meter wingspan, 84 kg empty weight) was pulled by hand with its own trailer to the settlement of Bazora and from there it was transported with the sled lift to the terminus at the “Sechstannen”, from where the plane then pulled up to the launch site and started by hand with a rubber rope.
