Innsbruck – Yesterday afternoon, mayors, representatives from Axamer Lizum, the state and the Chamber of Commerce explored the problem areas around the ski area. On the one hand, the atmosphere of discussion between the mayors of Axams and Götzens, Christian Abenthung and Josef Singer, with the mountain railway, which mostly belongs to the building empire Hall Fröschl or the members of the family, is not the best . From an economic point of view, Axamer Lizum will face potential losses of up to 2.5 million euros if tourists from abroad are not present this year. The German travel warning is considered the biggest obstacle.
A solution was sought at Friday’s meeting, negotiations will continue on Monday. It should also be a regional package for the lower mountain range above Innsbruck, the merger with Mutterer Alm is also a problem. Chamber of Commerce President Christoph Walser and National Councilor Franz Hörl (VP) cable car spokesperson are optimistic that despite the request for a temporary exemption from the obligation to operate, the Lizum will continue to operate.

The authority must act as quickly as possible
For her it was important that the mayor and the representatives of Axamer Lizum meet at a table and start conversations again, emphasizes the economic judge Patrizia Zoller-Frischauf (VP). It is not just about the Axamer Lizum, but above all about the local population, domestic and foreign guests, businesses in the region and ultimately the signals that the Tyrol is sending regarding the upcoming winter season. “After all, there is also a reason why there are mandatory hours of operation for cable cars.”
The state councilor agrees that they all agreed to start the talks again. “Since there is a request, the authority has to make a decision as quickly as possible.” Once again, he called on all those involved to work together on a viable solution for the future of the entire region in parallel. (pn)
