Ahornbahn Mayrhofen, Tyrol, Austria

An aerial tramway in harmony with its surroundings.

The new Mayrhofen Ahornbahn (Mt. Ahorn aerial tramway), located in the Tyrolean Ziller Valley, is an architectural monument to the mountains and a gateway to nature.

Their coherent coloration and material character make the buildings of the aerial tramway monolithic accents in the landscape.
The materials used – concrete colored black with Bayferrox® 330 from LANXESS and black sheet metal – help to more easily integrate the superstructures into the natural environs.

Austria‘s largest aerial tramway can transport up to 160 passengers over a distance of 3 km to the plateau of Mount Ahorn in only 6 ½ minutes.

The rapid and precise fine dispersion of the pigment ensures good integral coloration of the specialty concrete, which retains its intense coloration even under the extreme light and weather conditions of the Tyrolean mountains and is thus maintenance free.
