Located at the foot of Leisure Mountain Ahorn the bottom station is an imposing sight. The shadow plays of the sun on the dark-grey concrete make the building look even more impressive. An important factor in planning the construction of this extraordinary cable car was the integration of tourist activities in the surrounding natural environment. While the building looks quite unassuming from the outside, the inside is equipped with the latest technical features the cable car industry has to offer. Therefore, the Ahornbahn has recently been awarded with the European architecture prize “best architects” and the prize of the Austrian Cement and Concrete Industry 2007.
