Téléphérique-tunnel de Fleissalm, Aerial tramway and tunnel in Heiligenblut, Austria
Description
The Fleissalm aerial tramway and tunnel is a mountain transport system in Heiligenblut that connects two stations through an underground passage. The facility moves passengers between different elevations using an integrated cable and tunnel network.
History
The system was built in 1987 by converting an existing water tunnel from a hydroelectric power plant into a passenger transport cable way. This repurposing of industrial infrastructure into a public transport system created a dual-function mountain facility.
Culture
The Tunnelbahn Fleißalm represents Austrian engineering excellence by incorporating a dual-purpose tunnel that serves both transportation and hydroelectric needs.
Practical
The journey takes only a few minutes and carries a limited number of passengers per trip in small cars. Visitors should be aware that the narrow underground passage may cause discomfort for those sensitive to enclosed spaces.
Did you know?
The tunnel system originated from an existing water channel of a hydroelectric facility, allowing two functions to share a single infrastructure. This dual-use approach was a practical solution for creating mountain projects more economically and compactly.
