Mühlenkopfschanze

At Mühlenkopfschanze in Willingen, the inclined car connects visitor movement with the experience of a major ski-jump destination. NBAX designed the cabin to give this essential piece of transport a recognisable identity within a demanding mountain setting. NBAX collaborated with Melzer & Hopfner and Doppelmayr on the Mühlenkopfliner, bringing the cabin’s architectural design together with specialist planning and lift-system expertise.

Making infrastructure part of the attraction

The cabin’s transparency keeps views of the surrounding landscape central to the ascent. Colour, graphics and materials give it a clear presence, while the design responds to the physical constraints of the inclined transport system. The completed cabin brings architectural attention to an element visitors experience directly.

A more connected visitor journey

For operators developing an attraction, access and movement shape how people remember the place. This commission demonstrates NBAX’s experience in specialist visitor infrastructure: creating a distinctive, coherent experience within a defined technical brief, rather than treating transport as an afterthought.
