Nassfeld announces the new Tressdorfer Almbahn from December 2026. The project also includes work on the pistes and snowmaking.
At Pramollo, on the Austrian side of Nassfeld, Tressdorfer Alm is preparing a new lift for winter 2026/27. The resort’s announcement, published on 6 October, presents the Tressdorfer Almbahn as a detachable six-seat chairlift, scheduled to enter service from December.
Construction began in mid-May 2026. The project concerns more than just the chairs: the operator also includes work to optimise the pistes and snowmaking system. These measures should be considered together, because a new lift changes a sector of the mountain and the routes around it.
Boarding and protection during the ride
The chairlift is supplied by Doppelmayr. Its announced features include a boarding conveyor, child-protection systems, automatic opening of the safety bars, weather-protection hoods and heated seats.
For those travelling with children, this information describes the type of lift planned, but does not replace staff instructions or transport rules. Boarding still requires care, as does choosing which pistes to tackle after arriving at the top.
Similarly, a hood or heated seat concerns the comfort of the ascent. Neither indicates how difficult the descent will be. When assessing a destination for your group, the lift’s features and the difficulty of the routes must remain two separate parts of the comparison.
December is the plan, not an opening already observed
The official announcement places the debut in December 2026, without allowing the chairlift to be presented today as already operating. For the first day on skis, the resort’s status report will confirm the lift and the runs that can be used.
Nassfeld is in Carinthia, directly on the border with Italy. Italian visitors commonly know the same destination as Pramollo: in the operator’s documents, the new lift should be searched for under the name Tressdorfer Almbahn. This is the most useful reference for finding updates, project photographs and operating status without confusing them with other work in the ski area.
For those returning after an earlier season, the updated map will help explain how to use the sector. For a first holiday, the new lift is particularly relevant if it fits the routes suited to your ability and the journey from your accommodation.
The project therefore adds another consideration when choosing Pramollo for a winter holiday. The final check remains practical: not merely knowing that the chairlift is included in the programme, but checking that it is operating during your stay and which pistes it actually makes accessible.
