1871
The first step
The first step towards the touristic development of the Kronplatz mountain was made in 1871, when the Sidbahngeselischaft railway company opened the Villach-Lienz- Franzensfeste /Fortezza line, kicking off the local tourism in the process. Soon not only mountaineers but skiers, too, would flock to Kronplatz to enjoy the panoramic view highlighted in so many travel guides.
1953
A period with lost of ideas, but any money.
1960
The private limited company Kronplatz Seilbahn GmbH was founded, which was converted into a public limited company, Kronplatz Seilbahn AG, in 1961. Ernst Lifter became the president of this new company, as he had been of its predecessor.
1963
THE OPENING
On 25 December, the cableway operated by Kronplatz Seilban AG was inaugurated and put into operation.
1974
THE UNION
In 1974, the cableway companies of Brunico, Valdaora, and San Vigilio joined together in the umbrella organisation Skirama Kronplatz. They are all founding members of the Dolomiti Superski supraregional ski association, introducing a common ski pass.
The Kronplatz ,Gigger* is one of the most famous South Tyrolean advertising brands. Designed in 1975, it has since represented the good name of the entire holiday area.
1984
KRONPLATZ 1 AND 2
After 20 years of service, the Kronplatz cableway had to undergo ‘a. comprehensive overhaul. Ideas were floated to replace the traditional aerial cableway with a circular gondola lift, which was ‘subsequently commissioned and took up operations finally on 25 December 1986 (“Kronplatz!“ and *Kronplatzil”).
2000
Kronplatz 2000
In 2000, the first circular monocable gondola lift in the world called “kronplatz 2000” was inaugurated. In the same year, Skirama Kronplatz commissioned the peace bell “Concordia 2000”, an idea by Erich Kastlunger, which rang for the first time in 2008 at the summit of Kronplatz for peace, concord, and harmony.
