History

On 1 December 1959, master carpenter Walter Kirschner made the decision to operate a ski rental shop in addition to his carpentry shop in the centre of Serfaus in Tyrol.

In 1977, the carpentry workshop was converted into a sports company.

In 1979, Sporthaus Kirschner joined Intersport Austria.

In 1982, Siegmund Kirschner married his wife Renate, who in future was responsible for textile purchasing and sales in the shop.

The first renovation of the site took place in 1986.

In 1995, “Siggi” Siegmund Kirschner took over the business from his father Walter Kirschner. He became the manager of the sports company.

In 1999, Sporthaus Kirschner was once again rebuilt and enlarged to make it the size it is today.

In 2010, a new location was added by the cable car in Serfaus.

In 2019, Christian Kirschner and his sister Daniela Kirschner-Silvestri took over the business from Siegmund Kirschner and were appointed as managing directors of both businesses.

The family business Intersport Kirschner in Serfaus has existed for over 60 years and is now run by the third generation, siblings Christian Kirschner and Daniela Silvestri-Kirschner.
