Saas Fee - New Hannigbahn Planned For 2023

The license to operate the current lift expires in April 2023. The Hannig area is a very important excursion destination and local recreation area, which is very popular throughout the year.

The Saastal Bergbahnen AG agrees to realize the new Hannigbahn with the support of the patrons.

The Board of Directors of Saastal Bergbahnen AG, headed by the majority shareholder, has decided, in view of the importance of the project for the further development of the Saas-Fee/Saastal region and the commitment of the patrons, to fund the new Hannigbahn together with the crowdfunding campaign to realize the collected amount and raise the missing outside capital.

The project approach with the establishment of an infrastructure company, which would have financed the new Hannigbahn and then rented it out, failed due to the unachievable conditions of the public financial aid.

The majority shareholder and the entire Board of Directors of Saastal Bergbahnen AG are impressed by the great commitment to maintaining the Hannigbahn. For this reason, given the new situation, they have agreed to build and operate the new railway.

In order to achieve the goal, the money collected through crowdfunding campaigns should flow into the financing of the new Hannigbahn as a public service contribution. The goal of building the new facility in summer 2023 and opening it again in winter 2023 is getting closer and closer.
