Cableways

  • Cableway responsibilities

    Responsibility for funiculars, aerial tramways, cable cars and combi lifts and procedure relating to cableway concessions and construction permits is vested in the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI).

  • Good to know

    Building and planning permission is not only necessary if cableway facilities are being newly constructed, but also for changes to the infrastructure, to subsystems and to safety components. After construction or conversion work, an operating licence must be obtained confirming that there are no reservations regarding the safety and order of the cableway operation and cableway traffic.

  • History of the cableways in Austria

    Cableway transport in Austria goes back many decades, in a tradition running from 1926, when the first cable car to the Rax opened, to the first chair lift which came into service in the Wildschönau in1947 and the opening in recent times of a tri-cable lift in Kitzbühel.
