Shock on a skiing holiday: Eleven -year -old student seriously injured after an accident!

In the heart of the popular Silvretta Montafon ski area in Vorarlberg, there were several exciting developments. On January 8, 2025, however, serious incidents occurred that caused excitement. A 56-year-old teacher from Bavaria supervised a group of eight students during a school ski course. When she had to stop at Blue Piste No. 1a around 2:30 p.m. to wait for two stragglers, she instructed the remaining six students to drive to the Eichenhof valley station, which is around 150 meters away. But the students did not listen to the instructions and drove off in the steep, right slopes, where the gradient is 20 degrees. Tragically, an eleven -year -old student from Germany crashed into the house wall of the valley station and was seriously injured. He had to be flown to the St. Johann district hospital with an emergency medical helicopter and was hospitalized there, as ORF reports .

In the meantime, the Silvretta Montafon ski area has made great progress with the introduction of the new Valisera Bahn 2.0. This state -of -the -art 10 -year gondola track replaces the over 40 -year -old Valisera Bahn and is the largest project in the history of Silvretta Montafon Holding GmbH, such as Snowplaza . The new gondola train offers luxurious features, including heated seats and barrier -free access. Winter athletes can now reach the mountain station at a speed of up to 7 meters per second in just 12 minutes, while the capacity has risen from 2,200 to 3,000 people per hour. The Silvretta Park Montafon, around the new gondola station, has also been redesigned and offers a market hall with regional delicacies and the largest e-charging garage in Vorarlberg.

These developments in the ski area illustrate the connection between sporting activities and technological advances in alpine space. Despite the tragic incidents, the Silvretta Montafon remains an important attraction for winter athletes who can now benefit from the latest infrastructure.
