Weisse Arena: New 8-Seater Gondola For Crap Masegn

It will soon be history - the mountain railway from Crap Masegn to Fuorcla and further to the foot of the Vorab glacier. The six-seater gondola lift built by Habegger was put into operation in 1978. It now has one last winter ahead of it before it is no longer in use.

In the summer of 2025, the railway system will be modernized as part of a retrofit. A new eight-seater gondola lift will be built with the same route. Most of the stations and supports will remain the same. The new system will be put into operation in the winter of 2025/26.
