Guests had to make their way from Altenmarkt to Zauchensee <strong>on foot<\/strong>. In 1936, our grandfather Peter Walchhofer - already with an eye to the future - registered the first <strong>business using horse-drawn carts<\/strong>, used to transport the luggage of guests. A very convenient service that was positively received. Back then, of course, there were no groomed pistes, which meant you had to first make your way to the top of the mountain on touring skis. But then, bundled up in warming clothing, with knitted gloves and skis with wire bindings, the strenuous climb was rewarded by the ride down those virgin deep-snow slopes. Needless to say, the whole skiing experience definitely demanded a lot of grit and ambition.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery vce-image-gallery--gap-10 vce-image-gallery--columns-3\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-c08f4e00\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-c08f4e00\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-list\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/zauchensee-erste-skifahrer-3.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-c08f4e00\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img vce-image-gallery-img--orientation-portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/zauchensee-erste-skifahrer-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Erste Skifahrer in Zauchensee\" title=\"Erste Skifahrer in Zauchensee\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/zauchensee-erste-skifahrer-1.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-c08f4e00\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/zauchensee-erste-skifahrer-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Erste Skifahrer in Zauchensee\" title=\"Erste Skifahrer in Zauchensee\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/zauchensee-erste-skifahrer-2.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-c08f4e00\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img vce-image-gallery-img--orientation-portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/zauchensee-erste-skifahrer-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Erste Skifahrer in Zauchensee\" title=\"Erste Skifahrer in Zauchensee\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel\" id=\"el-7af566ae\" data-model-id=\"7af566ae\" data-vce-content=\".vce-classic-accordion-panel-body\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-section-inner\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-heading\"><a class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-title\" href=\"#el-7af566ae\" data-vce-target=\"[data-model-id=7af566ae]\" data-vce-use-cache=\"false\" data-vce-classic-accordion-element=\"\" data-vce-container=\".vce-classic-accordion-inner\" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"el-7af566ae\" id=\"section-7af566ae\"><span>Father and son \u2013 two forward-thinking men<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-body\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"section-7af566ae\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-7af566ae\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-element-container\" data-js-panel-body=\"\"><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-325aeb85\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-325aeb85\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-2b042e53\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-2b042e53\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-2b042e53\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-0ea64dba\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-0ea64dba\"><p class=\"ult-timeline-title\">Three of the primary movers-and-shakers involved in developing Zauchensee were Rupert Mooslechner, Peter Walchhofer and Benedikt Scheffer. In <strong>1962<\/strong>, <strong>Rupert Walchhofer Sr. and Benedikt Scheffer<\/strong> set out on touring skis to explore the area of the Rosskopf, Tagweideck and Gamskogel to see what the opportunities might be for a lift. This marked the beginning of the successful development of the <strong>Zauchensee World Cup ski area.<\/strong> Rupert Sr. and wife Maria constantly expanded <strong>Gasthof Zauchenseehof,<\/strong> ultimately becoming 4-star Hotel Zauchenseehof and the adjacent 4-star Hotel Zauchensee Zentral. In doing so, they built a strong foundation for their total of <strong>6 children and 23 grandchildren.<\/strong> Deep local roots and strong, sincere family bonds continue to characterize the Walchhofer family to this day. Personal esteem, friendship, helpfulness and respect are all values which the Walchhofers prize.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery vce-image-gallery--gap-10 vce-image-gallery--columns-4\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-abf3004f\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-abf3004f\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-list\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/grossvater-walchhofer.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-abf3004f\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img vce-image-gallery-img--orientation-portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/grossvater-walchhofer-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\" title=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/chronik-walchhofer-2.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-abf3004f\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/chronik-walchhofer-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\" title=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/chronik-walchhofer-1.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-abf3004f\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/chronik-walchhofer-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\" title=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/rupert-walchhofer-neu.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-abf3004f\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img vce-image-gallery-img--orientation-portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/rupert-walchhofer-neu.jpg\" alt=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\" title=\"Pioniere \u2013 Chronik Walchhofer\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block dsgvo\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-45acf554\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-45acf554\"><p>1st photo: Peter Walchhofer: the grandfather was an avid skier throughout his life \u00b7 2nd photo (from left to right): Rupert Mooslechner, Peter Walchhofer and Benedikt Scheffer \u00b7 3rd photo: Peter Walchhofer and son Rupert Walchhofer \u00b7 4th photo: Rupert Walchhofer Senior<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel\" id=\"el-fcc83842\" data-model-id=\"fcc83842\" data-vce-content=\".vce-classic-accordion-panel-body\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-section-inner\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-heading\"><a class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-title\" href=\"#el-fcc83842\" data-vce-target=\"[data-model-id=fcc83842]\" data-vce-use-cache=\"false\" data-vce-classic-accordion-element=\"\" data-vce-container=\".vce-classic-accordion-inner\" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"el-fcc83842\" id=\"section-fcc83842\"><span>Nostalgic glimpses into idyllic Zauchensee <\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-body\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"section-fcc83842\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-fcc83842\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-element-container\" data-js-panel-body=\"\"><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-5d858ae5\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-5d858ae5\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-0ff494aa\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-0ff494aa\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-0ff494aa\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-37abf253\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-37abf253\"><p>The first <strong>Stemag lift<\/strong> in Zauchensee Unterberg ran from <strong>1956 until 1967<\/strong> and represented great progress.

to give holidaymakers in Zauchensee even greater comfort, in the 90s the decision was made to build a second hotel in addition to the <strong>Zauchenseehof<\/strong>. In 1996, the Walchhofer family began to build <strong>Hotel Zauchensee Zentral&nbsp;<\/strong><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0.15px;\">right next to the piste in Zauchensee<\/strong>. After a 2-year construction period, this 4-star hotel was officially opened in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One year before the hotel was finished, the <strong>piste-side umbrella bar<\/strong> (3rd photo) was opened for guests. 1998 saw the official dedication (4th photo) of 4-star Hotel Zauchensee Zentral. In 2004, an underground walkway was built between Hotel Zauchensee Zentral and Hotel Zauchenseehof, thereby offering guests even more convenience and additional holiday amenities.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery vce-image-gallery--gap-10 vce-image-gallery--columns-4\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-96fcf4a8\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-96fcf4a8\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-list\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/bau-zauchensee-zentral-sommer-1997.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-96fcf4a8\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/bau-zauchensee-zentral-sommer-1997.jpg\" alt=\"Bau des Hotels Zauchensee Zentral im Winter 1997-98\" title=\"Bau des Hotels Zauchensee Zentral im Winter 1997-98\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/bau-zauchensee-zentral-Winter-1997-98.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-96fcf4a8\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/bau-zauchensee-zentral-Winter-1997-98.jpg\" alt=\"Bau des Hotels Zauchensee Zentral im Winter 1997-98\" title=\"Bau des Hotels Zauchensee Zentral im Winter 1997-98\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/eroeffnung-schirmbar-hotel-zauchensee-zentral.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-96fcf4a8\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/eroeffnung-schirmbar-hotel-zauchensee-zentral.jpg\" alt=\"Er\u00f6ffnung der Schirmneben dem bar Hotel Zauchensee Zentral\" title=\"Er\u00f6ffnung der Schirmneben dem bar Hotel Zauchensee Zentral\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/feierliche-einweihung-zauchensee-zentral.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-96fcf4a8\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/feierliche-einweihung-zauchensee-zentral.jpg\" alt=\"Feierliche Einweihung Zauchensee Zentral\" title=\"Feierliche Einweihung Zauchensee Zentral\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel\" id=\"el-147db930\" data-model-id=\"147db930\" data-vce-content=\".vce-classic-accordion-panel-body\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-section-inner\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-heading\"><a class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-title\" href=\"#el-147db930\" data-vce-target=\"[data-model-id=147db930]\" data-vce-use-cache=\"false\" data-vce-classic-accordion-element=\"\" data-vce-container=\".vce-classic-accordion-inner\" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"el-147db930\" id=\"section-147db930\"><span>World Championship, Olympics &amp; World Cup \u2013 the successful ski career of host Michael Walchhofer<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-panel-body\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"section-147db930\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-147db930\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"vce-classic-accordion-element-container\" data-js-panel-body=\"\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-f801adcc\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-f801adcc\"><p class=\"ult-timeline-title\">The Walchhofer siblings spent countless hours on skis from the time they were tots. Ski jumps, forest paths and the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee ski area itself, nothing was \"safe\" from them. Michael was especially into skiing, with his talent, persistence and healthy ambition leading him to a professional career in which he enjoyed many successes, especially in the Downhill. As a winner on the Streif in Kitzb\u00fchel and with numerous World Cup victories in the Downhill, Super-G, Combined and Super Combined, he made it into the elite ranks of Austria's most successful sports stars. Some of his great triumphs include the Downhill World Championship title at St. Moritz in 2003, the Downhill silver medal in Turin 2006, as well as multiple wins on the World Cup downhill circuit. In 2011, <a href=\"https:\/\/alt.walchhofer.at\/michael-walchhofer\/\">Michael Walchhofer<\/a>&nbsp;<strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0.15px;\">ended his <\/strong><strong>active skiing career.<\/strong> Since then, he has been an enthusiastic hotelier at <strong>4-star Hotel Zauchensee Zentral<\/strong> and actively engaged in organizing numerous events throughout the Salzburger Sportwelt. One of his top priorities is sporting programs for youth \u2013 including the <strong>Kondi Week summer program for children in Zauchensee.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-7efae116\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-7efae116\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-d6f7765d\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-d6f7765d\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-d6f7765d\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery vce-image-gallery--gap-10 vce-image-gallery--columns-3\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-6fc43ed8\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-6fc43ed8\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-list\"><div class=\"vce-image-gallery-item\"><figure class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/michael-walchhofer-2.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox-6fc43ed8\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-item-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vce-image-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zentral.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/09\/michael-walchhofer-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Gastgeber &amp;
