The centrepiece is the ultra-modern Nebelhornbahn, a 10-person LEITNER bicable gondola system that was completely renovated for the 2021/22 season. This sophisticated lift operates in two continuous sections, transporting skiers from the base station at 828 metres through the Höfatsblick middle station at 1,274 metres to the mountain station at 1,927 metres. The revolutionary bicable technology provides a transport capacity of 1,200 passengers per hour, eliminating lengthy queues whilst offering panoramic views through Pininfarina-designed Symphony cabins.
