Technical breakdown on the Pyramidenkogel: Lift out of operation for 20 weeks!

In Carinthia, the fate of the Pyramidenkogel again strikes! The popular observation tower is not spared from technical problems. The lift, which has been out of operation since October 15, leads to disappointment among many visitors, as the holidaymaker Ingrid Zabelberg from Leverkusen complains: "The disappointment is very great for me." Meanwhile, local politics, especially Mayor Gerhard Oleschko, calls for a quick action, since the failures could have massive economic consequences for the local gastro companies.

The situation is dreary: the defective engine is confronted with an unsafe repair period, while stricken figures in the local council confirm that the lifts are closed in 2023 with a financial loss of around 350,000 euros. Complaints about unclear processes in the repairs are made, with municipal council members criticizing the mayor's solo rules. Hope that the lift will soon be ready for use, but the required delivery time of the spare parts lets one or the other visitor doubt how to proceed.
