ROTEC Workshop Cable Car Technology 2026: Team spirit, strategy and innovation.
The ROTEC Workshop on Cable Car Technology 2026 kicked off the year for our team with full energy. As every year, we planned several days to work together and actively shape the future of ROTEC.
For this purpose, we traveled to the Silvretta Arena Montafon, a well-known winter sports region in the Alps. There, we rented a holiday home to both reflect on the past year and develop concrete strategies for the coming months.
Team growth and new perspectives
Despite some absences due to illness, the workshop was a success. The time was particularly valuable for new team members, as they were able to experience ROTEC’s working methods and company culture firsthand.
At the same time, the team used the opportunity to exchange knowledge and clearly define common goals. Last year, our team grew by three specialists, and at the beginning of 2026 we were also able to welcome new colleagues.
The workshop strengthened cooperation and helped to bring everyone to the same level.
Team building between workshops and slopes
In addition to the workshops, team building was also a key focus. Cooking together, skiing, and conversations away from the daily work routine fostered a strong sense of camaraderie. The Silvretta Arena provided ideal conditions for this.
This created intense moments that brought the team even closer together.
Cable car highlights in the Silvretta Arena
A particular highlight was the insight into modern cable car technology. Together with CEO Martin Oberhammer and Andreas Natter from the manufacturer Doppelmayr, we visited the Valisera cable car.
Built in 2021, the 10-person gondola lift was the first in the world to use the AURO system. AURO stands for Autonomous Ropeway Operation. Sensors, cameras, and AI enable operation without staff in the station.
At the same time, safety and efficiency increase significantly. Immediately afterwards, we visited the Panoramabahn 8-seater chairlift, also equipped with AURO. The comparison demonstrated how reliable and practical autonomous cable car operation is today.
Furthermore, the potential for the future became clearly visible.
Conclusion: Exchange, innovation and cohesion
The ROTEC Workshop on Cable Car Technology 2026 combined strategy, team spirit, and innovation. The days spent together provided valuable insights, strengthened team cohesion, and laid the foundation for future tasks.
ROTEC is starting the year 2026 with new ideas and clear goals, full of motivation.
