Overview

  • The Landesgericht St. Pölten opened proceedings on November 3 on the shareholders’ own application for Königsberg-Hollenstein Skilifte GmbH.
  • The KSV reported roughly €767,000 in liabilities against €120,000 in assets and said continuation is not possible, noting the company consented to closure in its filing.
  • Last season the lifts reportedly ran only three days despite repeated snowmaking attempts, whereas 20–30 operating days are typically needed for viability.
  • Seven employees and 43 creditors are affected at the small family area, which operates five drag lifts, a children’s rope tow and a summer bikepark.
  • Owners say they are in intensive talks on options; creditors can file claims until December 30, a creditors’ meeting is set for January 13, 2026, and attorney Christine Riess has been appointed administrator.
