See Starts Season With New 8-Seater Furglerblick Gondola

Just in time for the start of the winter season in See, the new 8-seater Furglerblick gondola went into operation after 6 months of construction. The new cable car starts in the area of ​​the Ascherhütte in the direction of Medrigjoch and takes winter sports enthusiasts from 2,174 meters to 2,570 meters - the highest point in the ski area. With the construction of the new gondola lift, skiers will also be offered a completely new slope in the Medriggrat area. From the highest point in the ski area, you can ski down a total of 1,530 vertical meters down to the valley, which in terms of vertical meters is one of the longest descents around. In total, Bergbahnen See invested around 9.5 million euros in the entire project with the support of the See municipality.

New heights are reached with the modern 8-seater Furglerblick gondola lift in See. Starting this winter, the Ascherhütte area will go up to 2,570 meters. From the mountain station there are panoramic views of the eponymous mountain Furgler (3,004 m). After the construction of the “Versing” 8-seater gondola lift in 2014, another key investment has now been successfully implemented and the further development and development of the ski area has been pushed ahead.

Mathäus Tschiderer, Managing Director of Bergbahnen See, is enthusiastic about the commissioning of the new gondola lift: "With the completion of the new 8-seater Furglerblick gondola lift in combination with the blue slope that has also been opened in this context to the middle station, we have achieved another milestone in history of our cable car company.
