New 10-seater gondola lift in Berwang
Bergbahnen Berwang build section II of the Obere Karbahn cable car
After the continuation of the project, which started back in 2019, was repeatedly delayed due to COVID restrictions and the Thanellerbahn being brought forward in 2020, the long-awaited go-ahead has now been given for the construction of the 2nd section of the Obere Karbahn, which will replace the old Thanellerkar T-bar lift. Completion and commissioning is planned for December 2025. The construction will not only provide more comfort for guests, it will also extend existing pistes, as the new mountain station will be located 140 metres higher up than the end of the previous T-bar lift. The current top station of the Obere Karbahn Section I will then function as the middle station.
The first part of the avalanche defence in the Scharte area as well as the support foundations and excavation work at the mountain station will begin this summer. In summer 2025, the remaining avalanche barriers, the foundations for the mountain station, the piste construction including snow-making equipment and the installation of the cable car will take place.
