On December 11, 2025, the Stuhleck<\/a> At its finest: brilliant sunshine, perfect conditions, truly glorious weather. This year also saw a new visitor record, suggesting a promising winter season, according to Fabrice Girardoni, Managing Director of the Stuhleck mountain lifts: "The early start to winter with enough cold days made it possible to cover the ski area with artificial snow in time and to open at the beginning of December." Even though it has warmed up again since then, the conditions at the opening were excellent \u2013 thanks in part to the 150 Stuhleck employees who worked behind the scenes on preparations for the start of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year's musical highlight was the high-energy show act Matakustix, which really got the audience in a party mood. For this, Matakustix received their own seat on the "celebrity chairlift" from Girardoni. An idea that originated in Kitzb\u00fchel but has now also become established at Stuhleck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: The 2025 ski opening, moderated by cabaret artist Gerald Fleischhacker, was not just a sporting start, but a celebration that reflected social get-togethers and the joy of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
