Penkenbahn, Gondola lift in Schwendau, Austria.

The Penkenbahn connects the valley station at 654 meters to the mountain station at 1790 meters, covering 2903 meters of distance in 7 minutes.

Doppelmayr constructed the current Penkenbahn in 2015 to replace the previous 15-person bicable gondola lift that operated since 1995.

The Penkenbahn serves winter sports enthusiasts accessing the ski areas of Penken, Ahorn, Rastkogel, and Eggalm throughout the winter season.

The gondola system transports 3840 passengers per hour at a speed of 7.5 meters per second, reducing waiting times during peak skiing periods.

During summer months, the lift provides access to dedicated mountain biking trails, hiking paths, and two paragliding launch points on Penken Mountain.
