Others

From 1941 to 2017 Maria Furtner was also known as "Oberkaser-Marie" and "Marie from Geiglstoa" milkmaid on the Oberkaseralm. She also spent the winters on the alpine pastures up to the old age of 92, after the cattle had long since been driven into the valley. She gained unwanted fame when her Alm was buried in an avalanche in winter 2009 and only the chimney was visible. The mountain rescue service cleared an entrance to the hut and brought the elderly woman down into the valley, but after two days she returned to the alpine pasture and to her house cats at her own request. Maria Furtner died in 2017 on the Oberkaseralm, while the Sachrang mountain rescue service held the annual mountain mass just a few meters away.
