Many new things for you
We are modernising the Berwang ski area
In December 2025, we were able to put our new 10-person Obere Karbahn II gondola lift into operation, replacing the old Thanellerkar T-bar lift. The construction will not only provide greater comfort for guests, but also extend existing slopes, as the new mountain station will be located 140 metres higher than the end of the previous T-bar lift. The previous mountain station of the Obere Karbahn Section I will then serve as a middle station.
In 2020, the Panoramabahn Rastkopf was added to our Bergbahnen Berwang cable car family. We also built the Thanellerbahn, a fully automatic, child-safe 6-seater chairlift with individual seats and weather protection hoods, from the Thanellerkarlift car park to the Obere Karbahn middle station. A liftable conveyor belt makes it easier for even very small children to get on. We have also installed a publicly accessible magic carpet at the Thanellerbahn valley station.
Here you can find all information about the future projects and the construction diary.
