To ensure that skiers get to have the best winter experiences in Ischgl, the Silvrettaseilbahn AG cable car company works at improving the ski resort each year. In december 2018, the Gampenbahn E4 has startet operating. This 6-people chairlift replaces the existing 4-people one and takes people from the Fimba up to the Palinkopf – one of the most beautiful locations in the entire ski resort.
Between the valley and mountain stations, there are 21 buttresses, plenty of steel ropes and lots of impressive technology. Thanks to the new cable run, four fewer buttresses were need – that’s better for the environment and the landscape!
The design of the new Gampenbahn is great, too:
various animals living in the mountains of Ischgl are printed on the back of the chairs. And every chair is a one-of-a-kind piece!
project of the Silvrettaseilbahn AG cable car company at the time and the longest chairlift in Austria. It was also built within only five months.
30 years later and with about 13 million journeys up and down the mountain under its belt, it was replaced in the summer of 2018 by a new state-of-the-art 6-people chairlift by Doppelmayr.
The former 4-people chairlift was taken apart and is meant to be rebuilt in the city of Taras in Kasachstan.
