New Construction of the Loischkopfbahn in Bürserberg from Summer 2025

Bergbahnen Brandnertal is pleased to announce the planned new construction of the Loischkopfbahn in Bürserberg.

With the approval of nature conservation and forestry law by the Bludenz district administration in July 2024, the start of construction in spring 2025 is approaching. This project aims to create an attractive, year-round offer and strengthen summer tourism in Brandnertal.

The new Loischkopfbahn is an important future project for us. We see it as a great opportunity for high-quality, future-proof and, above all, year-round development of the Brandnertal region as a popular leisure and vacation destination in both, summer and winter.

The new 10-passenger gondola lift will replace the existing Einhornbahn II and Loischkopfbahn chairlifts and run from Tschengla to Loischkopf.

In addition, a new, central access point to the ski and bike area with the necessary infrastructure will be built near the valley station.

Modernization and infrastructure

The facility will offer a maximum transport capacity of up to 3,200 people per hour and thus significantly improve the quality of the entire skiing, hiking and biking area.

The next steps

During the construction phase in spring and summer 2025, the existing Loischkopfbahn is expected to remain in operation until the middle or end of August 2025. The Einhornbahn II will not be available during this summer season. Despite the construction work, various offers are planned for the Bikepark Brandnertal, including a bike transport service to Brand, in order to continue to offer guests a varied experience.

Planning summer offers 2025

The main construction work for the new Loischkopfbahn is planned for spring and summer 2025, which will have an unavoidable impact on the existing leisure facilities in Bürserberg.
