NEW FROM WINTER 2022/23: 8er-Sesselbahn Kapauns
The next major milestone in the further development of the Zillertal Arena is already just around the corner: the connection between Zell and Gerlos will be more comfortable, more efficient and much more attractive in the future. The new Kapauns 8-seater chair lift with extended route is the first step in this direction as a replacement for the existing 2-seater chair lift and already awaits you in winter 2022/23. Our guests will be transported up to the cold Übergangsjoch protected by the cover and warmed up by the heated seats. The use of the environmentally friendly LEITNER direct drive also deliberately ensures sustainability.
