Projects

A planned merger between St. Anton and Kappl, which had previously been officially approved, was withdrawn by the Federal Administrative Court in a further procedure in November 2018. The reason is too strong an encroachment on nature in the Malfontal. It is not yet known whether the railway operators will object.

There are plans to build a village railway from Schröcken to the ski area in the next few years if the necessary funding is available. The permits for this have already been received, but the facility would be unprofitable given the number of beds in the town.

Other projects are the planned new construction of the Schindlergratbahn and Madlochbahn. Both are to run as a monocable gondola on a slightly modified route.
