After seven months of construction, the time had come on November 27, 2025: the new 8-seater chairlift “Mitterhausalm I” received its official cableway operating permit. The state-of-the-art installation by Doppelmayr replaces the previous 4-seater chairlift “Sonneck” and ensures a faster, more comfortable connection from Hauser Kaibling to the Planai.

Official public operations are scheduled to begin on December 5.

With a maximum capacity of 3,000 people per hour and a ride time of just three minutes, waiting times will be reduced to a minimum. Heated seats, weather protection covers, and ergonomic padding ensure a comfortable ride even on cold winter days. The operating permit was issued by the responsible authority, the Province of Styria, under the direction of Hofrat Mag. Christopher Grunert.

“We are absolutely thrilled, because the new 8-seater chairlift ‘Mitterhausalm I’ raises the quality of the ski connection from Hauser Kaibling to the Planai to a whole new level,” said Planai Managing Director Dir. Georg Bliem. “This new lift stands for maximum comfort and efficiency – and for the excellent cooperation of all those involved. Thanks to their great dedication, all work was completed on time and successfully. My special thanks go to the authorities, local politicians, the executing companies, and our entire team.”

The cableway authority of the Province of Styria also highlighted the precise and seamless implementation of the project. The new facility meets the highest technical standards and underscores the ambition of the Planai-Hochwurzen lifts to offer guests a modern, high-performance, and extremely comfortable infrastructure.
