New Möslbahn Gondola for Penken, Mayrhofen (Opens 2018/19)

From December 2018, a new 10-person monocable gondola lift will connect the village of Mösl at Hochschwendberg with Action Mountain Penken in Mayrhofen.

A new D-Line generation lift from Doppelmayr, the Möslbahn will transport about 2000 skiers and snowboarders per hour to the heart of this great Austrian ski resort.

Möslbahn construction started in April

Construction work began in April with excavation for the foundations and creation of the access roads.

During May, there was a lot of progress. At the valley station, the walls and base were put in place, while at the intermediate station concreting were completed.

Snow making pipes put down

The pipeline for a new artificial snow making system was also put down, with three excavators working on the slope.

Work continued in June with more work on base and summit stations, with an electricity supply installed.

On the new slope below the lift, excavators carefully removed the grass to cultivate and replant it afterwards.

More work took place on the foundations for the pylons as well as laying more pipelines for the artificial snowmaking machines.

The pylons have been put into place with the help of a helicopter.

Progress is going well

The upper part of the piste is almost completely finished and a lot of progress has been made on the lower part.

At the time of writing, the project is still progressing very well. Doppelmayr has done a lot of work on the Möslbahn Summit Station.

At the bottom station, the concrete work for the ceiling has been completed and the assembly of the gondola station has been started.
