Karspitzbahn II
The existing Wiesenalmbahn (8-seater monocable gondola), now called the Karspitzbahn I, is being extended by way of a second section toward the Karspitz summit, thus replacing the Sportbahn lift which has seen better days. The Karspitzbahn I and II will cover an impressive distance of 4.2 km - in just 12 minutes, carrying passengers up 1,540 metres of altitude into the heart of the ski area at an elevation of 2,116 m. The snow making equipment for the popular "Sportabfahrt" run is being completed at the same time.
