🎉 Congratulations to Doppelmayr on 50 years of ropeways in New Zealand! From the first registration in Aotearoa to becoming a key part of the landscape, your innovation, engineering excellence and enduring partnerships reflect the very best of Austrian technology abroad. ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA is proud to celebrate this milestone with you. Here's to the next 50 years of moving people, sustainably and spectacularly! Garreth Hayman
Today is the day we celebrate 50 years of Doppelmayr ropeways in New Zealand 🎉 It was on the 10th July 1975 that the company was registered here in Aotearoa. From that very first company registration to today’s network of chairlifts, gondolas, cable cars, t bars, platters and material ropeways, one thing has never changed: New Zealand's appetite for innovation. From powder days to daily commutes, we're proud to provide modern solutions that keep people moving. Along the way, we’ve logged thousands of engineering hours, countless kilometres of haul rope and handed over more than a few Austrian cowbells at ribbon-cuttings 🐮🔔 None of it happens without the people behind the towers: technicians, engineers, suppliers, resort teams, iwi, councils and the communities who let ropeways become part of their landscape. 50 years of rope-propelled mobility, 100 % grounded in Aotearoa. Here's to 50 more.
