Overview
- The blaze in a base-area multipurpose hall caused damage estimated at around or above €1 million, destroying three vehicles and a piste groomer and damaging a Bergwacht depot and technical systems.
- The cable car itself was not directly affected, but service and access were halted because the building housed core snowmaking and support equipment.
- No injuries were reported after a fire alarm alerted employees who were preparing overnight snowmaking.
- About 120 firefighters worked in subzero conditions with limited water supply, pumping over long lines and opening the roof to extinguish hotspots.
- Kripo Kempten is leading the investigation, and police said the operator plans to resume regular service on Tuesday, though the timeline depends on damage assessments.
