Ski resort Ankogel in Carinthia saved by financier from Croatia
Ankogel Ski Area Scores life-saving Investment
Prepare for some major changes at the Ankogel ski resort! Before shutting down for good, the ski area has secured a lifeline through a 7.5 million euro investment over the next three years. The Croatian investment group "adria commodities" has stepped in to take over all operations and promises an exciting transformation.
Get ready for a brand-new storage pond, expanded snowmaking facilities, and a bike park! The bustling municipality of Mallnitz made the announcement on Tuesday, setting the stage for year-round tourism in the mountains. This venture will be a joint effort with the regional initiative group Ankogel 4.0.
According to spokesman for the initiative group, Heinz Auernig, the investment will amount to 7.5 million euros over the next three years. An exciting regional participation of at least 25% is also on the table. To keep everyone in the loop, an information evening will be held on May 8 for those interested.
It's time to get your wallets ready, as a crowdfunding campaign will kick off this summer for those who want a piece of this mountain magic. With Ankogel's impending transformation, it's safe to say that the ski season will never be the same!
It's clear that significant developments are underway in Carinthia's ski areas, such as the TMR-operated Mölltaler Gletscher[1]. While Ankogel made an appearance in a TikTok video as a skier's home resort[5], specific details about these recent investments, crowdfunding initiatives, or information evenings were not found in the available sources.
If you're eager to know more about the specifics of Ankogel’s year-round tourism project, it's best to follow official TMR announcements or check regional tourism boards for updates. The sources from April 2024 up to October 2025 focus on operational updates rather than capital investments, leaving Ankogel out of the picture in these results.
If this project is not reported in the mainstream sources, staying tuned to local news outlets and municipal communications will keep you up-to-date! Get hyped, folks, a new era is upon us!
