Loser To Install New Panoramabahn For 2022
The Loser Panoramabahn will serve as a replacement for the 6-seater Loser-Jet chairlift and the double chairlift (the concession of which ends in 2022). The new cable car connects the three most important traffic points on the Loser: Skiarena valley station - Kehre 11 middle station car park - Loser Alm mountain station car park. Construction will start in April 2022, and commissioning will take place in the 2022 ski season.
In pre-winter and spring, the cable car serves as a feeder for the lifts on the Loser Plateau. This is an important advantage because it allows better use of the naturally large amounts of snow, and snow-making in lower elevations can be operated more efficiently and with less energy. The route lighting also enables night operation. This means that events and toboggan evenings outside of the ski area are possible again.
The Ausseerland is primarily a spa and relaxation region. The large 10-person cabins are barrier-free and are intended to provide winter hikers, tobogganists and excursion guests with the opportunity to relax and experience things on the Loser in winter. An important factor in the ski area is the ability to exercise for children. The mountain station is right at the beginning of the 7km long blue family run. This creates the easiest and safest conditions for children and beginners to learn to ski.
In summer the cable car serves as a flexible counterpart to the panorama road. This should also make it easier for guests who are visiting Ausseerland by public transport to get on the loser. Fewer cars on the mountain also mean less CO2, noise and tire wear. Especially in summer the Loser Bergbahnen see the cable car as a means of public transport that enables access to the Loser. Not only the area around the Augstsee is a popular destination. There are countless interest groups who experience the loser individually across all generations (hikers, climbers, photographers, paragliders, day trippers, mountain bikers, etc.).
The Loser Bergbahnen aim to improve the existing offer as well as to make it future-proof and ecologically compatible. No new developments or extensions are planned.
They say "The loser is and will remain a small and fine family skiing and hiking area with 100% local jobs. We stand for better instead of more."
