Füssener Jöchle

Füssener Jöchle, Gondola lift in Grän, Austria.

The Füssener Jöchle gondola lift runs from Grän in the Tannheimer Tal to a mountain station at 1,821 metres on the Füssener Jöchle. It replaced a 1970 Doppelmayr double chairlift, which at 2,630 metres was then Europe's longest without a mid-station. The current lift uses cabins from Carvatech and was installed in 1998.

The Grän lift company was founded in 1967, and a 900-metre drag lift opened that winter. In 1970 Doppelmayr built a 2,630-metre double chairlift to the 1,821-metre mountain station, then Europe's longest without a mid-station; it ran 25 minutes in winter and 18 in summer. It was dismantled in 1998 and replaced by a gondola with Carvatech cabins.

The lift is run by Liftgesellschaft Grän, founded in 1967, whose first installation was the 900-metre Schachenlift I drag lift of winter 1967/68. The name Füssener Jöchle refers to the 1,821-metre summit above the mountain station, reached from Grän in the Tannheimer Tal; the valley side is also reached by road from Pfronten and over the Oberjochpass from the Illertal.

The lift runs from Grän up to the mountain station at 1,821 m; the 1998 gondola replaced the old double chairlift. In winter the Jochalplift, a six-seat chairlift built in 2004, carries 2,425 people per hour over 670 m to the snow-sure slopes above and below the station. Since 2001 the whole 500,000 m² ski area can be covered with artificial snow.

The snowmaking pond holds up to 15,000 cubic metres of water and feeds 72 water connection points, served by 13 propeller snow guns and 4 snow lances. In 2005 it briefly supplied drinking water to the villages of Grän and Haldensee after a leak knocked out their municipal supply.
