The closure is due to essential tree felling in the cable car safety zone, carried out as part of mandatory safety measures to ensure the safe operation of the cable car.
For safety reasons, entry to the closed section of the trail is strictly prohibited.
We kindly ask all visitors to respect the closure.
Thank you for your understanding.
