Seefeld and Skiing

... a long, joint history

Wilhelm Völck founded the Seefeld Ski School with just 5 instructors in 1921 at a time when ski-lifts hadn´t even been invented.

Our best-known instructor up till now is certainly the world-famous Seefeld local skier Toni Seelos - 4 time world champion in slalom and combination in the 30´s.

He invented the parallel turn which changed the face of skiing forever and made the name of Seefeld and the Seefeld Ski School a household name around the world.

He was the head of the ski school until 1981 and the book "Toni Seelos - Ein Leben für den Schisport" (printed 1999) has lots of interesting details about his life.

Nowadays we have up to 120 ski instructors in our ski school, one of the best in the whole of Tyrol, under the leadership of Erwin Seelos.

We have a wide choice of courses available - and we´re still teaching the parallel turn. Thanks Toni!
