Historic Stinesser Lift in Fischen Set for Demolition

The Stinesser lift in Fischen, a historic ski lift, is set to be dismantled this fall. This marks the end of an era for the lift, which has been a vital part of the town's ski infrastructure for decades. Toni Vogler, a local historian, reflects on the lift's legacy and the reasons behind its closure.

The Stinesser lift was renowned for its unique feature, 'Däpperle', a strenuous task that allowed the German Ski National Teams to access the slope below the Maderhalm district in heavy snowfall. Toni Vogler often shares these stories, highlighting the lift's significance in the town's skiing history.

The lift's dismantling is due to urgent renovation needs. However, the municipality has decided against the renovation, citing unjustifiable costs. A nearby lift will continue operating, offering an alternative for skiers.

The Stinesser lift's dismantling this fall will see the end of an era in Fischen's skiing history. Toni Vogler's reflections ensure that the lift's legacy, including the 'Däpperle' task, will not be forgotten. While the lift goes, the municipality ensures that skiing in the area continues through an alternative lift.
