The Erzgebirgskreis district wants to sell the Fichtelberghaus, which is popular with tourists, to a private investor for just under two million euros. The district council is to decide on this tonight. The purchase price is said to be 1.975 million euros.
The buyer is Fichtelberghaus Invest GmbH, which is backed by the Gläß family of entrepreneurs from the Vogtland region. They already lease the Fichtelberghaus, operate the four-seater chairlift on the Fichtelberg and could also take over the cable car in the future. They would then operate the entire alpine ski area on Saxony's highest mountain.
The plateau, including the hotel and restaurant at an altitude of 1,215 meters, currently belongs to the Erzgebirgskreis. The hotel was built at the end of the 1990s based on a historical model and reopened in 1999. According to the information provided, investments in the high single-digit million range are now necessary, which the district is no longer willing to bear. This includes new ventilation systems, fire protection and the general refurbishment of the bathrooms in the 28 hotel rooms.
