Millennium-Express, Alpine aerial lift in Hermagor-Pressegger See, Austria

Millennium-Express is a detachable-gondola cable car running 6,001 m in three sections from Tröpolach in the Gailtal valley up to the Madritsche in the Nassfeld ski area. Cabins hold up to 15 people and are transferred automatically from one cable to the next at the two intermediate stations, Gmanberg and Tressdorfer Alm, so riders stay seated; the second section crosses the Rudniggraben on a 67 m high pylon.

The Millennium-Express opened for the winter season of 1999/2000, replacing car access over the pass road as the only way to reach the Nassfeld ski area. At its opening it was the world's highest-capacity cable car. In 2004, 50 cabins were added to the original 108. In summer 2023, slope movement halted operations early; supports 14 to 16 near the Rudniggraben were rebuilt before the 2023/24 winter season.

The cabins carry a livery showing the Nassfeld landscape, and the line is named for its opening in the winter season of 1999/2000. Its three sections can run separately, so the middle stretch is used heavily for the evening ride home when the valley run is closed.

The three sections run from Tröpolach via Gmanberg and the Tressdorfer Alm to the Madritsche; doors open at both intermediate stations, so riders can board or leave there. In summer it usually operates from early June to mid-September, in winter from early December to early April, with maintenance in between. The second section crosses the Rudniggraben on a 67-metre-high pylon and is heavily used for the evening return trip.

The cabins are swapped automatically from one cable to the next at the two intermediate stations, so passengers stay seated from Tröpolach to the Madritsche. At its opening in winter 1999/2000 the lift was the highest-capacity cable car in the world.
