A modern 10-seater gondola will replace the current gondola from July 2020 on, which is now over 30 years old. The ride on the new Hexenwasser gondola will be "almost as beautiful as a flight on the witches’ broom".
In the past, the construction of a new gondola lift only served the purpose of transportation. Today the ride in the gondola is an experience of its own for many. That is why it was decided to create an unusual gondola concept. In the new 10-seater gondola, which of course meets the highest standards from a technical point of view and in terms of comfort, the so-called "hexophony" plays. Each of the 72 cabins is unique thanks to its individual design and motif. The Söller locals from young to old gave the gondola their voice and recorded 72 different short stories to match the motifs. In addition, the Bundesmusikkapelle Söll has recorded a “weird witch music” with 72 sound tracks, the “Hexophonie” which accompanies the stories. Unique and bewitched.
