Mountain Hotels in the Gemmi Area as a Separate Category

The Leukerbad tourist tax regulations list a separate category for mountain hotels and group accommodation in the Gemmi area under Article 5 paragraph 1 letter f. The Gemmibahn cable car runs from Leukerbad up to the Gemmi Pass at 2350 metres above sea level.

For an installation there, I therefore assume that people and materials travel up by cable car. I check in advance with the business whether a property is also accessible another way.

On site

Materials Bundled for the Gemmibahn

Nets, tensioning wire, fixings and equipment then need to fit the cable car transport by quantity and weight. I therefore put the materials together in full beforehand and schedule the work within the cable car's operating hours.

I work with rope access technique, IRATA Level 3, instead of scaffolding or a lift platform. I choose between nets, tensioning wire and spikes just as I would for any Bird deterrence in Upper Valais, only the cable car logistics are added here. Spider webs at garage driveways in the village are a different matter, see Spider treatment Leukerbad.
