Bartholet Secures Contract for Building New Cable Car Systems

Bartholet Maschinenbau AG is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the contract to construct three new cable car systems in Gstaad.

The contract consists of three sections and was tendered in early 2024:

Cable Car 1:
A 10-passenger gondola lift from Schönried to Horneggli-Hornberg, consisting of two sections with an intermediate station.

Cable Car 2:
A 6-seater chairlift connecting Saanenwald to Horeflue.

Cable Car 3:
A chairlift linking Gfell to Horeflue.

After negotiations in June 2024, Destination Gstaad AG awarded Bartholet the contract for the cable car technology.
 

Matthias In-Albon, CEO of Bergbahnen Destination Gstaad AG, expressed his enthusiasm:

“With Bartholet, we have found a partner that meets our high standards for quality and innovation. This contract is a significant milestone for our generational project and provides us with the necessary planning security.”

With these new cable cars, Gstaad continues its long tradition in tourism, seamlessly integrating it with the latest technology.
