Competence Center for Skiing and Winter Sports
With the knowledge of the ski-historical significance of the region, a Winter Sports Museum was founded in Mürzzuschlag in 1947.
Having continuously grown over many years, the collection today stands as one of the most significant in its field worldwide. In connection with a rich archive and a comprehensive library, extensive expertise has been developed and the Winter Sports Museum has evolved into a competence center for skiing and winter sports in Austria and Europe.
Various educational programs turn a museum visit into an experience. Additionally, the Skirock Cafe and the popular ski hut invite visitors to relax. Numerous events organized by the dedicated museum team further enhance its appeal. The museum facilities can also be rented by companies, clubs, and individuals for seminars, lectures, celebrations, photo shoots, etc.
The museum team has many years of experience as a lender of objects, supporting various projects, and also offers ready-conceived traveling exhibitions or tailored special exhibitions.
The NostalSkiTeam offers an up-close experience of historical winter sports. As part of ski demonstrations, interested viewers are introduced to the various styles of alpine skiing from the early days in Central Europe around 1890 to the carving technique of the 1950s using original equipment (from the museum).
