Is the Ebenalp Cable car to Berggasthaus Aescher open early May

We want to visit Ebenalp this May, specifically to stay at the Berggasthaus Aescher. Does anyone know if the cable car to this hostel is running then? I believe it is the Ebenalp lift (Wasserauen-Ebenalp). I know they have a website but it is not in English. http://www.ebenalp.ch/ Could someone translate for me and let me know if they are open. Thank you so much.

Try opening the website using google, then use the google translate function. It works pretty good.

In case that doesn't work as expected, the schedule says that from May 3 to May 31 the lift runs every 15 minutes from 7:30 am until 17:30. So you should be fine.

Dear Vera, I am not sure of the cable car information but I can say that we stayed here two summers ago and it was incredible, fantastic, and one of the most memorable stays of the 21 days trip. The hike from the lift to the hut was not hard and it was a beautiful little hike. The family who runs the hut are very kind and they cook delicious food!! Sleeping in the dorm type setting in these huge lofts with super cozy down comforters was so restful. I hope you plan to stay the night. It's something you will never forget. Carol
