Kabelbanen en bergliften in Zuid-Tirol

The brand-new "SONNEN" 10-seat cable car will launch in December 2023 at Klausberg in the Skiworld Ahrntal. It replaces the old 3-seat "Sonnen" ski lift and offers a modern and comfortable ride for 10 people per cabin to over 2,100 m in just 6:12 minutes.

After comprehensive planning, the project started in November 2022. The new lift is a tried-and-tested model from Doppelmayr, chosen for its performance and safety. With a capacity of 2400 people per hour and a focus on child safety, the lift offers an impressive upgrade.

The work is primarily carried out by local companies to ensure short production and delivery routes and to support the local economy. The project will be completed in the fall of 2023 and the first rides will start in December 2023.

Along with the lift upgrade, existing slopes are made wider and safer to enhance the skiing experience. Therefore, "SONNEN" offers a complete upgrade, both in terms of the lift system and the slopes.
