Tegelberg Cable Car

The cableway has a 38 metre high support pillar, made of reinforced concrete.

The cableway was built by the South Tyrolean firm of Hölzl Seilbahnbau.

After a tandem paraglider flew into the cables, operations had to be temporarily stopped.

132 people were flown from the top station back down to the valley.

19 passengers and the cable car operator in the upper gondola could not be rescued by helicopter until the morning of 13 August 2011, due to strong winds.
