The gondola lifts leading to the Wildkogel ski area leave from the villages of Neukirchen and Bramberg. From Neuriken there are 6-seat gondolas, and from Bramberg, since the winter of 2010/2011, the ultra-modern 8-seat Smaragd has been operating. They both have intermediate stations. In the ski area itself, most of the slopes are served by chairlifts. Since the fall of 2012/2013, the Frühmesser skylift has ceased to work, and in its place is now a modern six-seater chairlift with yellow protective domes. Beginners can use the children’s lifts and moving walkways, which can be easily reached from the gondola mountain stations. In the winter of 2013/2014, three new training lifts were commissioned.
