New Gondola For Hopfgarten
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
As well as the widely publicised Westendorf Connection gondola that opened in the SkiWelt this year, a second new gondolas opened, at Hopfgarten, greatly improving up lift in that sector of the giant ski pass area.
The new “Salvenbahn 2†eight-passenger cabin gondola lift replaces an old chairlift and dramatically increases the speed and comfort of ascent on the route.
The 1775m long lift carried 47 gondolas giving a carrying capacity of 2000 skiers and boarders per hour for it 5.67 minute ascent from the valley station at 1178m to the mountain station at 1829m.
