Fiesch - Transport of hanggliders

As you might know, the (two) large cable cars in Fiesch, which had been used for many years for transporting hangliders have been dismanteld last year and replaced by a new gondola. These gondolas depart from a newly built station, which also serves as train/ bus station. It is -obviously- situated near the railway line of the MGB (Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn). 

the new hub: Train-, Bus- and Gondola station*

 
These gondolas offer space for 10 passengers - which is too small for transporting hanggliders.

Gondola for 10 passengers*

But: they have special special transport gondolas for transporting goods (and also hanggliders).
>> There may be waiting times until a transport gondola is available at the bottom station for loading the hanggliders!
Therefore it might be necessary to arrive well in advance in order to secure a space on such a gondola...

Be it with para- or hanggliders: I wish you many safe and great flights! Fly high! Fly safe!
