Vermuntbahn, Cable car in Gaschurn, Austria.
The Vermuntbahn is a cable car in Gaschurn that spans 1336 meters, connecting a lower station at 1038 meters elevation to an upper station at 1738 meters. The system transports passengers upward across a significant height difference to access the higher alpine terrain.
The cable car opened in 1994, transforming access to the upper slopes and establishing itself as a key infrastructure for winter sports in the region. Its development supported the growth of the Silvretta Montafon area as a destination.
This cable car is part of the Silvretta Montafon ski area and connects the village to winter sports terrain above. It serves as the main gateway for visitors seeking to access the slopes and mountain activities.
The journey takes about 3 to 4 minutes, and the system continuously moves visitors between the two stations. Visitors should dress warmly, as temperatures are noticeably colder at the upper station.
The system uses a reversible ropeway design that allows efficient transportation in both directions throughout the day. This technical approach was an innovative solution for the transportation needs of the area.
