100 years of the Meran-Hafling cable car

Exactly 100 years ago - in October 1923 - the Meran/Obermais - Hafling/St. Kathrein cable car was put into operation. In its 61 years of operation, it has achieved more than it seems at first glance. Although there is little to remind us of the installation today, the construction of this cable car was a pioneering technical achievement. Three quarters of all cable cars in the world today still use this principle, which was first applied here by engineer Luis Zuegg. For the village of Hafling, the new, fast connection to the valley brought an economic upswing and the initial spark for tourism.

We investigated what the Tschögglberg is and what the difference is between a Tschöggl and a Tschögglberger.
