Procedure details

Purpose

The funding is intended to provide an incentive for investments in technical standards, comfort and the quality of cable cars and thus ensure the sustainable safeguarding of existing cable car facilities in Bavaria.

Object

Funding is provided for commercial investments in the technical renewal and modernization of existing cable cars, including ancillary facilities required for operation in small ski resorts. If additional, directly related services are offered that are equally important for skiing or summer use, these investments will also be funded.

Beneficiaries

Grants are awarded to commercial and municipal companies.

Eligible costs

Funding is available for expenditure on the acquisition or production of capitalized tangible fixed assets included in the investment project and, under certain conditions, also for the acquisition of intangible, leased, rented or leased assets.

Type and amount

The grant can be awarded as an investment subsidy or as an interest subsidy to reduce the cost of a loan to be granted by the LfA Förderbank. The subsidy rate is up to 35% for small companies, 25% for medium-sized companies and up to 35% for exclusively municipally supported companies.

Funding is possible if:

  • it is a project in small ski resorts; prerequisite:
    • The ski area has a maximum of three slopes and the total length of the slopes is less than 3 km or
    • the municipality in which the cable car company is located has a maximum hotel room capacity of 2000 and the number of weekly ski passes sold is less than 15% of the total number of ski passes sold (average of the last three years).
  • the investment amount is at least EUR 500,000 or the project is at least capable of directly and permanently increasing the total income in the respective economic area to a not insignificant extent (so-called primary effect).
  • there are no obstacles under public law and the project is in line with environmental protection and regional planning requirements, in particular the Alpine Plan and the regional plan.
  • the project is associated with the possibility of year-round use of the facilities, i.e. the measure must also be geared towards summer tourism. In principle, funding will only be provided for projects where a year-round offer with the cable car facility or facilities exists or is planned in the corresponding skiing or hiking area.
  • the other eligibility requirements are met.
