Ischgl Post 2 Million Skier Days for First Time Since 2019

Austrian ski resort Ischgl has posted 2 million skier visits for the first time since pre pandemic.
To celebrate, board members of the resort's Silvrettaseilbahn lift company Markus Walser and Günther Zangerl, jointly welcomed Mrs Annemarie Dohr and her husband Harald from Lower Austria, to the couple's great surprise, providing the two millionth winter guests with gifts as they boarded a gondola.
Ischgl was identified as a major hotspot of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Six hundred infections in Austria and up to 1,200 infections in Germany and the Nordic countries were traced back to the ski resort, starting from Iceland on 1 March 2020. The whole town was eventually quarantined from 13 March until 22 April 2020 and various mass legal actions were brought against it and the wider region as a result of the infections.
"Even though the prestigious 2 million mark has already been reached for the ninth time in the history of Silvrettaseilbahn AG, the joy this year is particularly great. This is the first time since 29 April 2019 that this impressive threshold has been exceeded again within a single winter season. For those responsible, this is a clear sign that the sustained investment in quality, comfort and the range of experiences on offer in the Silvretta Arena continues to pay off," a company press statement reads, adding, "By reaching the two millionth guest mark, the company is seamlessly building on its best results of recent years and is optimistic about the coming summer season and winter 2025/26."
