The construction cost of the gondola lift including its bottom, middle, and top stations is planned to be in the region of €17 million The Leogang Lift Company is convinced that the new Steinbergbahn lift will further enhance the high quality of the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang and will also give an additional drive to the very positive development of the tourist region of Saalfelden Leogang.
