    NEW in WINTER 2011/2012 - Silverjet Set For Take-Off

    This summer, the investment plan of Bogensperger's Katschberg lift dynasty includes further expansion at the Aineck. Silverjet2 is being constructed on its Salzburg side, at a cost of 10 million euros. With the new cable car, skiers will no longer have to use the "Branntweiner- und Ainecklift" T-bar lifts to ascend the mountain.

    

Silverjet2, with its 8-passenger gondolas, will rise to 520 metres, covering a length of 2250 metres. The new facility will enable the summit station to be reached within seven minutes, representing a speed of 22 km/h. As with most of the other Katschberg lift facilities, the manufacturer will be the well-known Vorarlberg company Doppelmayr, which has designed a particularly futuristic look for the summit and base stations. Incidentally, the summit station will also contain the garage of the Aineck PistenBully fleet, consisting of ten state-of-the-art vehicles.



    A1, here we come! This construction project will eliminate one of the last bottlenecks at the Aineck, reducing the journey time from the valley in St Margarethen up to the Aineck summit by ten minutes. Silverjet will be boarded directly at the Aineck double-chairlift. From the summit station, there will be a direct connection to the A1, or skiers can ski to the cable car via the Almen run (Almenabfahrt).



    Awards. The piste pleasure will thereby be taken to a whole new level – and not least because the Katschberg has once again won the "Ski Area Test" and has been awarded the "International Pistengütesiegel" (international seal of approval for piste quality). And that's not all: the border mountain between Carinthia and Salzburg has been awarded the title of "Beste Beschneiungsanlage 2011" (best snow cannon 2011).
