TL;DR
Nassfeld is putting €13 million into a new 6-seater chairlift, the Tressdorfer Almbahn, connecting Sonnleitn with the Tressdorfer Alm from December 2026. It replaces three ageing drag lifts and will run through summer too, from June 2027, moving up to 2,500 people an hour on the roughly three-minute ride. It's the latest step in Carinthia's largest ski resort building out a genuine year-round offering, following last year's Gartnerkofelbahn gondola.

The Tressdorfer Almbahn, a modern detachable 6-seater, is under construction and set to open for the 2026/27 winter season. Nassfeld Pramollo AG, the mountain railway company running Carinthia's largest ski resort, describes it as one of the region's most significant recent lift investments.
What the new lift replaces
From December, the Tressdorfer Almbahn takes over the connection currently served by drag lifts on the Sonnleitn side of the mountain, moving up to 2,500 people an hour on a roughly three-minute ride. For skiers and snowboarders, that mostly means an easier, more comfortable way to move between sections of the resort - and the operator expects it to smooth out traffic flow across Nassfeld more broadly as well.
