Engetal T-Bar in Murren,Switzerland
At last they will be replacing the T-Bar with a 2 seater chairlift for
the next 06/07 season .. Another lift they are replacing is the funicular from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp with a cablecar but this time its a shame as its been going since 1891 but due to safety it needs to be done. |

Felly sgrifennodd Jerseybean :
At last they will be replacing the T-Bar with a 2 seater chairlift for the next 06/07 season .. Excellent - about time! I believe they've been intending to do it for years, but money has been a problem. Another lift they are replacing is the funicular from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp with a cablecar but this time its a shame as its been going since 1891 but due to safety it needs to be done. Also for next season? It seems a bit of a shame, as you say. It works; it might not be fast, but who cares? You only do it once a day at most. I'd prefer it if they spent the money on providing a better way up to the upper slopes. The cable-car is often very busy. A chair up from say the top of the Schiltgrad, or the Joch at the bottom of the Kanonenrohr (just beyond Allmendhubel) to somewhere around the bottom of the Muttleren or Kandahar chair would IMHO be money better spent.

I think it was down to the location aswell as the area is prone to avalanches so aswell as the new lift they are installing avalanche equipment to protect the lift structure and keep the pistes open,like they have done on the Kanonenrohr. There has been rumours for years about installing a gondola at Blumental to the bottom of the Muttleren but it never happened.The other rumour was to extend the ski area but again another rumour. |
