Construction work is underway on the new bicable gondola lift on Nebelhorn, just three kilometers from Söllereck as the crow flies. By 2021, this will mark the première of a special technical innovation for Leitner ropeways: For the first time, Leitner ropeways’ brand new bicable technology will be combined with Luxury cabins Symphony 10.

Combined with new product developments like the carriage, this creates a new overall product in the bicable ropeways segment. That allows the two Nebelhornbahn ropeways 1 and 2 to be operated separately from one another thanks to the two rope loops.
To access the Höfatsblick station in future, guests will no longer have to change at the Seealpe midway station, they will be able to stay in the cabin. Besides increasing the comfort significantly, this will also avoid long waiting times in future. The Luxury cabin Symphony, designed by Pininfarina, lets guests experience a new feeling of comfort as soon as they board. The wider boarding area, sliding doors and maximized 360° view through the panoramic windows contribute to this impression.
The new installation is the first upgrade since 1976/1977, and therefore a true once-in-a-century event for the recreational area that is also popular in summer.
