New lift offering on the Rangger Köpfl: combination railway starts!

The Tyrolean ski area Rangger Köpfl has taken a significant step for the 2024/25 winter season with the opening of a new station wagon that connects an 8-seater cabin or 6. This modern system is designed at 1,300 meters and replaces the old, 53 -year -old drag lift, which in the past brought numerous visitors to the heights of the Tyrolean Alps. According to ORF TIROL , the new system was realized with an investment of 8.2 million euros and only needs half a year of construction. The financing was made up of own funds of the Bergbahnen Oberperfuss, grants from the municipality and Innsbruck Tourismus and a bank loan.

The managing director of the Bergbahnen Oberperfuss, Manuel Hujara, described the construction of the station wagon as an important milestone for the future of the ski area. "If I don't want to snap off the skis, I take the chair lift. Guests with tobogganing or children may rather take the gondola. We wanted the best of the best here so that we are prepared for the future," explains Hujara with a view to the diverse possibilities for the guests. The new railway should ensure more fluid operation in both summer and winter and increase the attractiveness of the area. The toboggan run is also said to be over 10 kilometers long, as also reports the ISR . The pride of those responsible for the new facilities is unmistakable - these should secure the livelihood of the mountain railways for the coming decades.

The Bergbahnen Oberperfuss are optimistic about the future despite the high investment costs and have raised the lift prices slightly, but remain among the cheapest offers in Tyrol. Hujara emphasizes that the new offers of the combination of toboggan run, natural snow trail and winter hiking trails are attractive for all age groups and the region is better secured in both winter and summer. These developments are not only crucial for the economic structure of the area, but also make an important contribution to promoting winter tourism in Tyrol.
