Vicar Müller – the secret pioneer of alpine skiing at the Arlberg

When more than 100 years ago Johannes Müller, vicar of Warth, started to practice skiing secretly in the dark, he became the first skier at the Tannberg and Arlberg area. At that time people wondered about the curious tracks in the snow and they would have wondered even more if they had known how popular this sport would be one day.
