Garmisch-Classic Opens New Kreuzwankl 8-Seat Chairlift for Winter 2025–26

The €18 million upgrade advanced after a three-year conservation review bordering a protected habitat.

Overview

  • The Doppelmayr chairlift features slower circulation in the valley station and a height‑adjustable entry to ease boarding for children and ski schools.
  • The 900‑meter lift carries about 3,400 passengers per hour with weather‑protective hoods and strengthens the link between Hausberg, Kreuzeck and Osterfelder.
  • Operations start Saturday with Kreuzeckbahn, Hexenkessel and Hausbergbahn plus surrounding Kreuzwankl lifts and Kinderland, while the Alpspitz area remains closed.
  • BZB marked the launch with a Dec. 12 Kinder‑Skitag and invited local season‑pass holders for inaugural rides.
  • Officials confirmed roughly six months of construction and acknowledged current pistes rely on artificial snow at Hausberg’s elevation.
