The SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser - Brixental is one of the largest and most modern ski areas in Austria . It unites six mountain railways in the Tyrolean districts of Kufstein and Kitzbühel .
history
With the 1971/72 winter season, the Hopfgarten and Söll mountain railways began mutual recognition of lift tickets. From 1973/74, a 7-day large ski pass valid in Brixen , Ellmau , Going , Hopfgarten, Itter , Scheffau and Söll was introduced. Since November 26th, 1985 a pool contract exists with mutual offsetting of the income. In the same year, the Westendorf mountain railways became a member of the ski association. In 2015, the renovated Kaiserlift in Kufstein was accepted by the Skiwelt.

International FIS racetracks
Even before the mountain railways were founded , ski clubs were founded and ski races were held. The first ski club was founded in Brixen as early as 1927 and the first ski race was held on the Kälberalm a year later. The Kälberalm run is still an official FIS race track today .
The international Alpenrosen FIS night slalom in Westendorf, also known as the "Hahnenkamm Warm-Up Night Slalom", is an FIS race outside of the World Cup racing calendar , because the trophy is held immediately before the Kitzbühel Hahnenkamm race and is the last test before the race , many internationally known racing drivers also take part. The trophy was awarded for the 24th time in 2012.

Snowmaking
Due to the low location of the area (800–2000 m), artificial snow-making began as early as 1987 on a slope in Brixen . In 1990 Westendorf began, and in 1992 the areas of Hohe Salve, Scheffau and Söll began producing technical snow. With the systems, 120 of the 280 kilometers of slopes can be covered with snow within three days.
The construction of the “Salvensee” reservoir (56,000 m³ of water) in 2007 and the “Hohe Salve” reservoir in 2013 (135,000 m³ of water) made it possible to make snow in the entire Hopfgarten-Itter area.
Westendorf draws the 250,000 m³ of water it needs per season from the Windauer Ache and a 64,000 m³ storage basin.
Supraregional alliances
The SkiWelt is a member of the Kitzbüheler Alpen AllStar Card (6 ski regions in Tyrol and Salzburg) and the Tyrol Snowcard (87 ski regions in Tyrol).

The Schizentrum Sonnberg Liftgesellschaft was founded in Brixen in 1970 to develop the Sonnberg. In the same year the two-seater Sonnberg chairlift and the Poldanger drag lift were built. In 1986 what was then an ultra-modern gondola lift was built to replace the two-seater Sonnberg chairlift. In 1995 the company was transformed into a stock corporation. The main shareholders are the Schilifte and Bergbahnen Scheffau (85.28%). In 2008 the Skiweltbahn was built. With a length of 3.4 kilometers, it is the longest cable car in the ski area and also crosses a railway line. The valley station is located in the village on the other side of the street, like the Hochbrixen gondola, and connects the ski area with Westendorf. In 2019 the 4-seater chairlift Zinsberg was replaced by a combination lift consisting of 10-seater gondolas and 8-seater chairlifts - the first in the world of skiing.

The origins of the Bergbahnen Ellmau go back to the establishment of the "Verkehrsverein Ellmau" as a public corporation on April 3, 1950 by the State of Tyrol. This opened the 1- seater chairlift Postbauernleiten in January 1951 . This opened up four ski runs and a toboggan run.
On November 9, 1970, the community and some private individuals founded the development company Ellmau mbH with share capital of 160,000 Schilling. The company's purpose was the establishment and maintenance of sports facilities. The planning of a funicular to the Hartkaiser was decided at the shareholders' meeting. In the 1972/73 season, the runway built by VÖEST was put into operation. In the same season the Marcherlift, a drag lift , was built by Doppelmayr.
The Ellmau mountain railways in the Wilder Kaiser - Brixen area have been merged since 1985.
On November 28, 1998, the Ellmau mountain railways merged with the Goinger Seilbahn- und Schilift Gesellschaft mbH, founded in 1967
The development company was transferred to Bergbahnen Ellmau - Going GmbH & Co. Hartkaiserbahn KG and renamed in 2006. The Verkehrsverein Ellmau brought in the Hartkaiserbahn as a limited partner.
The Hartkaiserbahn itself was replaced by a 10-person single-cable gondola from Doppelmayr in 2015 .

A GmbH was first founded in 1959 and at the same time the first drag lift (Angeralm lift) was built. The Söll-Hochsöll 1-seater chairlift was built in 1965. In the following years several tow lifts were built: 1966 Salvenmooslift, 1967 the Knollenlift, 1968 the Stöckllift and 1972 the Rinnerlift. The 1-seater chairlift Hohe Salve was built in 1970. All of these cable cars were built by the Swoboda company. Parallel to the 1-seater Söll Hochsöll chairlift, a 2-seater chairlift was again built by the Swoboda company in 1975. In 1978 the Grundried drag lift was built. With the construction of the Söll cable car, the Silleralm 3-seater chairlift and the Filzboden lift in Brixen in 1985, there has been a direct connection from Söll via Brixen to Scheffau since then. Today two 8-person gondola lifts (Hochsöll gondola and Hohe Salve gondola) extend from Söll to the Hohe Salve. The Hohe Salve gondola replaced the previous 1-seater chairlift from 2000. The Hochsöll gondola lift built in 1988, which at the time was the first 8-person monocable gondola lift in Europe, will be replaced by a newly built 10-person gondola lift in 2020.

For the first time in 1946 in Hopfgartener council on the development of the Hohe Salve with a climbing aid discussed. In 1947, the cable car was used as Ges.mbH with a registered capital of 494,000 ATS founded. In 1949, what was then the third cable car system in Tyrol was put into operation. At 2830 m it was also the longest chairlift in Europe .
In 1985 the Bergbahn Hopfgarten merged with the Schilift Itter Ges.mbH in a ratio of 72:28. In 1991 the Kelchsau lifts were bought up and included in the company's name.
As a result of a difficult winter and the high investment costs, the company ran into financial difficulties in 1963 and bankruptcy in 1997 . In 2008 more than 200 shareholders were involved.
In 2004, with the first section from Hopfgarten up to the middle station, the village's first gondola lift went into operation. In 2008 the summit of the Hohe Salve, 1,829 m, was opened up with the then most modern gondola lift (8EUB) of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental.
The lifts in Kelchsau are the only ones connected to the larger ski area of the SkiWelt via a ski bus connection.

The mountain railways were founded on August 8, 1946. The first chairlift led from the valley to the Alpenrosenhütte on the Choralpe ( ⊙ ) on the Nachtsöllberg ( 1886 m ) and was at that time the longest ski lift in Austria with a length of 2205 m. In 1969 these two chairlifts were rebuilt with a new middle station. In the 1970s, the ski area was expanded with a few chair lifts and drag lifts. In 1987, Westendorf built a modern 6-person monocable gondola with a middle station to Talkaser. In 2005, an 8- person monocable gondola lift from Aschau to the Gampenkogel ( 1957 m ) established the connection to the Spertental. Three years later, Brixen im Thale was also connected to the Choralpe with the Skiweltbahn, an 8-person monocable gondola.
The company has 135 shareholders. The economic factor for the region is given as 50 times the annual turnover.
In summer the Choralpe is a popular starting point for paragliders . The Alpinolino Westendorf has also been located on the Choralpe since 2011. This is a 1.5 km long nature trail with an adventurous character, which is aimed primarily at children and families.

Merger with the Kitzbühel ski area
A merger of the SkiWelt with the Kitzbühel ski area has been discussed for years . An indirect connection was created with the opening of the "Ki-West" gondola lift in Aschautal in 2005/06. The “Pengelstein I” train in Kirchberg can be reached via a ski bus connection. The construction of a direct connecting railway is said to have been planned by Bergbahn Kitzbühel in 2006. This would have created the largest ski area in Austria by far, with well over 400 kilometers of slopes.
