There was an accident during a recovery exercise Wednesday that severely damaged one of the cabins of the Seilbahn and the Seilbahn is closed indefinitely. There were no injuries. Apparently the damaged cabin is still hanging on the cable and the summit terrace area is closed off for the salvage work.. The cog train is still running. Not sure what if any impact to the Austrian Seilbahn.
