On the Hochficht
Defect on the chairlift: skiers rescued safely
Around 150 skiers on the Hochficht did not return to the valley on skis, but in the lift on Wednesday afternoon. Due to a technical defect, the chairlift got stuck and could only be operated backwards using gravity.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Three fire departments were called to the Hochficht in the Mühlviertel region shortly after midday on Wednesday to evacuate people. Due to a technical defect, the operation of the chairlift had to be stopped. Police, rescue services and the lift operator were also quickly on site. The technical defect was probably caused by gear damage.
Using gravity - weights had been placed on the chairs on the opposite side so that the lift could travel backwards - the 150 or so skiers affected were brought down to the valley safely. There were no further incidents and all skiers were able to leave the lift unharmed.
After the successful rescue, the affected chairlift was taken out of service and subjected to a thorough inspection. Once the evacuation was complete, guests were able to continue their day's skiing on the other lifts in the ski area.
