Renovation at Mutkogl
Efficient, sustainable, and reliable
The Mutkogl T-bar lift on the Tiefenbach Glacier is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade. Bergbahnen Sölden has made a conscious decision to continue relying on this type of lift: on the dynamic glacial terrain, a T-bar lift is the most technically sound solution.
More compact, faster, and more reliable
With this renovation, the previous T-bar lift rides—which stretched over two kilometers—are now a thing of the past. The route has been shortened to a crisp 859 meters, cutting the ride time from about 11.5 minutes to under 5 minutes—more than halving the journey. In addition to new valley and mountain stations and a new haul rope, modern control electronics ensure maximum reliability and easy maintenance. The reduced weight of the system also significantly lowers energy consumption during operation. For skiers, the Mutkogl remains an ideal option for skiing the slopes in this area multiple times without having to unstrap.
