Ischgl Achieves Guinness World Records Title: The Largest Gondola Built From Lego Bricks

An extraordinary project at an altitude of 2,624 meters: In collaboration with LEGO GmbH, Silvrettaseilbahn AG and the Paznaun – Ischgl Tourist Board have achieved the Guinness World Record for the largest gondola built from LEGO bricks. The impressive construction in the Pardorama mountain restaurant impresses with its size and attention to detail and is a real highlight.

With a total height of 4.85 meters, a cabin height of 2.06 meters and a length and width of 2.8 meters each, the LEGO gondola sets new standards. The construction consists of around 400,000 LEGO bricks, which have been manufactured in over 11,000 modules by visitors to the LEGO world in the Pardorama since November 28, 2024. The model is a gondola from the Ischgl 3-S Pardatschgratbahn A2, type Taris, from the manufacturer Doppelmayr.

A special feature of the gondola are the window surfaces, which are decorated with mosaics and show iconic images from Ischgl. A total of 24,576 LEGO elements were used for these detailed works of art, giving the gondola a unique look.

On February 16, 2025, the world record was confirmed on site by the official referee Seyda Subasi-Gemici from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS. The gondola not only represents an extraordinary milestone, but also the strong community spirit in Ischgl.

A joint project of the highest class

"The LEGO gondola is not only a world record, but also a symbol of what we can achieve in Ischgl together with our guests," says Anna Kurz, Marketing Director of the Paznaun - Ischgl Tourist Association. "It is an experience that will be remembered for a long time."

"In 2014, the 3-S Pardatschgratbahn A2 had the world's greatest height difference of a 3-S cable car at 1,251 m. We are now extremely pleased to have won the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest gondola built from LEGO bricks. A big thank you goes to all our guests, especially the many children who helped to build the world record," says CEO of Silvrettaseilbahn AG DI (FH) Markus Walser.

Theresa Silbereisen, Senior Marketing Director for LEGO GmbH's marketing activities, also explains: "We are delighted to have realized this project together with Ischgl. The collaboration with Ischgl has once again shown how our LEGO bricks inspire people to think big and create something extraordinary together."

Open to visitors until April 30, 2025

The record-breaking gondola and the interactive LEGO world can be visited in the Pardorama mountain restaurant until April 30, 2025. Guests therefore still have plenty of opportunity to experience this extraordinary work of art up close.
