Winter in transition - a digital journey through snow, sport and history
Experience virtually how winter became a sport
Nestled in the mountains of the Schladminger Tauern, the Haus im Ennstal Winter Sports Museum tells the fascinating story of skiing in the region - from its beginnings to the present day.
Historic equipment, unique collector's items and exciting stories show how closely Haus im Ennstal and the Schadming Dachstein region are linked to winter sports.
1. living and working in the snow
Early forms of snow transport, such as snow tyres and tatz sledges, illustrate the everyday life of hunters and woodworkers in the high mountains.
2. leisure and competition
Winter as a playing field: from tobogganing to ice shooting, rural winter fun and the first competitions are brought to life.
3. upswing in skiing and tourism
Skiing began with the "single-pole technique", followed by the emergence of winter tourism around the Hauser Kaibling - from pioneers like Friedrich Kabusch to the first school ski courses.
