Schladming. Preunegg Jet

If you have already seen other cable cars in the Austrian ski resorts, then you have surely paid attention to their diversity. Due to high-quality and timely service, 10-, 20-, and even 30-year old lifts still operate in the Austrian Alps.

But on the screen now, we can see one of the most modern lifts in the vicinity of Schladming, Preunegg Jet. Its eight-seater covered cabins move along the cables at a speed of 6 meters per second and travel the distance of 2,217 meters in 6.5 minutes. The difference in altitude between the lower and upper stations is more than 700 meters! Almost all the trails in this resort zone are complex and pass along the forested slope of the mountain, so tourists should be attentive during the descent.

Preunegg Jet has a capacity of up to 2,400 people per hour. Until 2010 (when a new cabin lift appeared here), Holzerlift, built in 1971, had serviced this area of the resort. On a simple drag lift, vacationers covered a distance of 1,610 meters, which could be called an attraction itself.

In the frame, we can see the restaurant Reiteralmhütte, built just below the top station of Preunegg Jet. In the summer, tourists can drive up to the restaurant along the mountain roads and enjoy the stunning Austrian cuisine.
