New construction of the 6SB Angeralm and 6 SB Aussichtsberg chairlifts

The ground-breaking ceremony for two new 6-seater chairlifts took place in Dachstein West last week - a milestone for the further development of the region.

With an investment of 22 million euros, modern lift facilities including a technical centre will be built by the 2025/26 winter season, connecting Gosau (Upper Austria) and Annaberg (Salzburg) even more comfortably. The new lifts will be of the highest standard with weather protection bonnets, heated seats and mechanical locking.
