History of the Ankogelbahn Mallnitz
Since 1966, the Ankogelbahn in Mallnitz has been transporting countless winter sports enthusiasts from the valley village of Mallnitz to the mountain station at over 2,636 m above sea level, winter after winter.
It is impossible to count the number of people who have learned and enjoyed skiing in Mallnitz over the years – the Ankogelbahn has been in operation for well over half a century.
They have taken Mallnitz and the Ankogel ski area to their hearts and have fond memories.
The valley village of Mallnitz has changed its character several times over the course of time – it grew up with the development of the railroad from 1909 – making it a mountaineering village from the very beginning, then from the opening of the Ankogelbahn winter sports hotspot with a vibrant nightlife with clubs, discos, live music, the hippest hotels and restaurants.
Since the foundation of the Hohe Tauern National Park in 1981, the accession of Mallnitz in 1986 and the existing geological, ecological and economic conditions , Mallnitz and the Ankogelbahn have developed in line with its facilities.
Reconstruction of the Ankogelbahn in 1993 after takeover by the Schultz Group
With the takeover of the Ankogelbahn from the state of Carinthia by the Schultz Group was rebuilt in 1993 and the transport capacities expanded. In the lower section(Alpenrose-Hochalmblick), a 30-passenger gondola cable car was replaced by a 58-passenger gondola cable car and in the upper section, a 45-passenger gondola cable car was replaced by one with a transport capacity of 81 passengers. The upper section alone can transport 900 people per hour .
Tatry Mountain Resorts (TMR) takes the helm in 2019
In June 2019, the renewed change of ownership of the Ankogel ski resort from the Schultz Group and Hans Peter Haselsteiner to the to the listed Slovakian tourism group TMR was completed with great media attention:
In general, we see a lot of potential for the future in the Mölltal Glacier and the Ankogelbahn. Last season's experience as a sales partner convinced us to take an active approach.
More than just a climbing aid in summer too
In the summer months, the Ankogelbahn cable car transports hikers and mountaineers to 2,636 meters above sea level in no time at all, allowing them to experience the impressive, barren, rocky world of the main Alpine ridge without any effort.
The Hohe Tauern National Park offers wildlife watching along the Tauern High Trail. With the Kärtnen Card, all guests can experience this at an inclusive price.
