100 million investment in Flumserberg
The tourist offer in Flumserberg is being massively expanded. A Heidi adventure world is to be built in Tannenboden, and two hotels with around 180 rooms and an adjacent parking garage with around 400 parking spaces are also planned. The Tannenboden-Maschgenkamm mountain railroad is to be rebuilt with more efficient ten-person gondolas. The investment volume amounts to over CHF 100 million and is expected to attract an additional 200,000 visitors per year.
Based on the Tourism Development Concept Flumserberg (TEK), Bergbahnen Flumserberg AG, Alpkorporation Mols as landowner, and the Office of Economy and Labor of the Canton of St. Gallen carried out a test planning. The communities of Quarten and Flums were already involved in the TEK. The aim was to link and strengthen Tannenboden as a tourist center with the expansion plans of the mountain railroads as well as overnight accommodations and other tourist experience offers.
According to the State Chancellery of St. Gallen, the first concrete discussions with investors have taken place within the framework of the test planning. Now a structured investor competition is to be held and the framework conditions further clarified.
The planned construction projects in Tannenboden will trigger an investment volume of around CHF 100 million. The centerpiece is a Heidi experience world on the Moseralp, where guests can re-enact the Heidi story at numerous stations. The components of the previous alpine business such as gastronomy, livestock farming, alpine dairy and overnight accommodation remain integrated and modernized in the Heidi story. The Heidi experience world sees itself as a supplement to the already existing Heidi village in Maienfeld.
Two hotels are to be built in the immediate vicinity of the new valley station of the Maschgenkamm lift, one with around 100 rooms, and one with around 80 rooms, connected to the new underground parking garage. The existing 200 parking spaces in the area will be concentrated there and another 200 new parking spaces will be created. (ah)
