Fleckalmbahn (YOC 2019)

The quality initiative in the KitzSki ski area continues to progress successfully, and thus, for the 2019/20 season, the 10-seater Fleckalm gondola lift went into operation. The Fleckalmbahn offers the highest level of passenger comfort currently available on the market and features state-of-the-art cable car technology.

The 96 gondolas are equipped with ergonomically shaped individual seats with leather upholstery, seat heating, and lumbar heating. Since the 2021/22 season, the chairlift has offered an Intelligent Heat Detector (IHD). Using a heat sensor on a reference vehicle of the system and via the access gates, the IHD system can automatically regulate the seat heating, thus contributing to energy savings and the sustainable use of seat heating.

It is the first 10-seater gondola lift (EUB) in Austria with a travel speed of up to 7 m/sec. The number of support towers was reduced from 29 to 22. In addition, an intelligent traffic and parking concept was developed for individual transportation. The cable car makes a gentle left turn on its way to Ehrenbachhöhe.

The last ride of the old Fleckalmbahn was on 14.04.2019. Construction of the new lift began in earnest on 15.04.2019. The opening took place on 06.12.2019, right on time at 8:30 a.m. for the 2019/20 winter season in the Kitzbühel/Kirchberg ski area.
