Schollenwiesenlift: a loss for the children and tourism in Höfen

In the current discussion about the Schollenwiesenlift in Höfen, there is a significant concern among the population. The lift, which has been considered a popular place of learning for children from the area for decades, is to be closed due to financial considerations. Since the statements of the Tourismus Association (TVB) are perceived as cynical about an allegedly positive future of lift, the question arises: What does that mean for the local community?

In a comment, Markus Misslinger expressed that the dimension of the problem is still not fully recorded by the decision -makers. The statements that an 110 meter long magic carpet for the ski promotion is considered sufficient affect many for many. It is unsurpassed how the rod lift brought the children closer to the safe handling of skiing. For many, this lift was the first step into the world of winter sports.

criticism of the responsibility of TVB

Misslinger in particular criticizes the irresponsibility of the TVB, which withdraws from a contractual obligation to support the Schollenwiesenlift. Instead of regularly investing between 30,000 and 40,000 euros to maintain the operation, reference is made to a supposedly intolerable deficit, while the association has 1.6 million euros in its account. This step is regarded by many as a dubious turning of an important task of the community.

Another aspect that contributes to the discussion is the problem that the property owners, who have been blocking the installation of a snowmaking system for more than a decade, should be held responsible. Especially with regard to their earlier role in promoting skiing in the community, a solution is sought.

The closure of the Schollenwiesenlift has far -reaching consequences. There is no other suitable tallift in the region, which means that the possibilities for children to learn skiing are severely restricted. The feeling that only virtual learning remains instead of real skiing is a worrying idea for many parents.

The discussion about the Schollenwiesenlift is more than just a local exertion; It is a symbol of value and responsibility towards youth and the preservation of traditions in winter sports. The goal of the decision -makers should be to find a solution that is both economically sustainable and in the best interest of young people.
