Albonabahn I, Aerial lift in Stuben, Austria
Albonabahn I is an aerial lift in Stuben that connects two mountain stations and carries visitors higher into the Alpine terrain. The system moves people between the stations using modern cable-car cabins.
This aerial lift was planned in the 1950s and began operating in 1957. It developed as part of the Ski Arlberg area's growth during that period.
The lift system serves as a gateway to Ski Arlberg, contributing to the winter sports development of the Vorarlberg region since the mid-20th century.
The modern lift carries visitors in cabins designed for multiple people at a time. Visitors should be prepared that the ride experience can vary depending on weather conditions.
Near the lift stands a remarkably deep ventilation structure connected to the Arlberg road tunnel system. This technical infrastructure remains largely hidden from view but shapes the underground landscape of the area.
