SK Sturm Graz: Black and white gondola on the Bürgeralpe
23/July/2026
n SK Sturm gondola has been operating on the Schöckl mountain since 2022, and now a black and white gondola is also running on the Mariazeller Bürgeralpe. The new SK Sturm Graz gondola was officially opened as part of a family festival.
A Joyful Family Festival:
A special summer day on the Mariazell Bürgeralpe: The recent family festival marking the start of the school holidays was all about games, fun, and adventure. As part of a diverse program, the new SK Sturm gondola was officially put into operation for the first time. Following the SK Sturm gondola on the Schöckl mountain and the black-and-white Sturm tram in Graz, another black-and-white landmark is now operating on the Mariazell Bürgeralpe. In addition to the official opening, visitors enjoyed a colorful program for all ages. Interactive stations, painting stations, a holiday Olympics, a creative village, a "Wonder Forest" hiking trail, and a "Lumberjack Land" made the day a successful family festival and invited everyone to discover the Bürgeralpe in a variety of ways.
Managing Director of Business Operations Thomas Tebbich: “The new SK Sturm Graz gondola on the Mariazell Bürgeralpe is a wonderful symbol of how deeply rooted SK Sturm is throughout Styria. Following the black and white Sturm tram, which has been running through Graz since June 2022, and the gondola on the Schöckl mountain, we are delighted to now also have a black and white presence in Mariazell. It was especially wonderful that we could celebrate this moment together with so many families and Sturm fans. Events like these demonstrate that SK Sturm connects people far beyond match day.”
Johann Kleinhofer, Managing Director of Bürgeralpe Mariazell: “The partnership with SK Sturm Graz combines family experiences, enthusiasm for sport and social commitment in a special way. Together we want not only to bring joy to the fans, but also to help people who are less fortunate.”
