Valfagehrbahn

Valfagehrbahn, chairlift on the Alpe Rauz near Sankt Anton am Arlberg, Austria

The Valfagehrbahn is a six-seat chairlift with a protective bubble cover and seat heating to keep riders warm during the ascent. It crosses over forested terrain and connects multiple areas of the Arlberg ski region, transporting skiers quickly to higher slopes.

A chairlift at this site was first discussed in 1961 by the supervisory board of the Stubener Bergbahnen. A detachable three-seat chairlift built by Doppelmayr of Wolfurt opened in 1980, linking the Albona ski area with St. Anton am Arlberg. It was replaced in 2005 by a six-seat lift from Leitner of Sterzing, officially opened on 21 January 2006 after a four-month rebuild.

The lift is named after the Valfagehr area on the Alpe Rauz, at the foot of the Arlberg pass road, and since 1980 it has linked the Albona ski area with St. Anton am Arlberg in Tirol. Its valley station sits at 1663 m, the top station at 2281 m near the Pfannenkopf and the Ulmer Hütte.

The valley station sits on the Alpe Rauz at 1663 m, right by the Arlbergpass road, and parking for cars and buses was enlarged during the 2005 rebuild. A short drag lift leads to the station entrance. The top station at 2281 m is near the Ulmer Hütte, and the lift feeds the Galzig and St. Anton sectors of Ski Arlberg.

The lift's valley station sits on the Alpe Rauz at 1,663 m, beside the Arlberg pass road, and a short surface lift leads to it. Its top station at 2,281 m stands near the Pfannenkopf and the Ulmer Hütte. Since 2008 a storage pond holding about 75,000 m³ has fed the snowmaking system from beside the top station.
