2012 is shaping up to be a great season for St Martin and Lungau. On the Aineck mountain they are in the latter stages of building a brand new gondola lift - the exciting-sounding 'Silverjet'. This will take you up a point where you can catch the (new last year) eight-person gondola that runs up to the peak of Aineck at 2220 metres. From here it's possible to take a number of different routes - from technical blacks and brand new, wide open carving pistes that lead you back down to St Margarethen, to a choice of black or red runs running down into Katschberg village.

There's also some big news on this side of the valley. Replacing St Martin's slightly antiquated two-person chairlift is a brand new six-person gondola - the Sonnenbahn. The lift station is only a few minutes' walk from our chalets (or offers free parking to those with a hire car) and the lift takes you up to Speiereck - our closest (and favourite) mountain. This lift is great news for us and, indeed, for the whole of St Michael and we know it will make a huge difference to our guests.

You can see how the lift has been developed by looking at the Sonnenbahn website: http://www.sonnenbahn.at/

Enjoy!!
