Ischgl reaches GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Title: the largest gondola built from LEGO® bricks

An extraordinary project at an altitude of 2,624 metres: in collaboration with LEGO® GmbH, Silvrettaseilbahn AG and the Paznaun - Ischgl tourist board have achieved the Guinness World Record for the largest gondola built from LEGO bricks. The impressive construction in the Pardorama mountain restaurant impresses with its size and attention to detail and is a real highlight.

With a total height of 4.51 metres, a length of 2.70 metres and a width of 2.43 metres, the LEGO gondola sets new standards. The construction consists of around 400,000 LEGO bricks, which have been built in over 11,000 modules by visitors to LEGO World in the Pardorama since 28 November 2024. A gondola from the Ischgl 3-S Pardatschgratbahn A2, type Taris, from the manufacturer Doppelmayr serves as the model.

A special feature of the gondola are the windows, which are designed with mosaics and show iconic images from Ischgl. A total of 24,576 LEGO elements were used for these detailed works of art, giving the gondola a unique look.

On 16 February 2025, the world record was confirmed on site by the official referee Seyda Subasi-Gemici from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS. The gondola therefore not only represents an extraordinary milestone, but also the strong community spirit in Ischgl.

A community project in a class of its own

"The LEGO gondola is not only a world record, but also a symbol of what we can achieve together with our guests in Ischgl," says Anna Kurz, Marketing Director of the Paznaun - Ischgl Tourism Association. "It is an experience that will be remembered for a long time to come."

"At 1,251 metres, the 3-S Pardatschgratbahn A2 had the greatest height difference of any 3-S cable car in the world in 2014. We are now delighted to have won the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the largest gondola built from LEGO bricks. A big thank you to all our guests, especially the many children who helped build the world record," says Markus Walser, CEO of Silvrettaseilbahn AG DI (FH).

Theresa Silbereisen, Senior Marketing Director for the marketing activities of LEGO GmbH, also explains: "We are delighted to have realised this project together with Ischgl. The collaboration with Ischgl has once again shown how our LEGO bricks inspire people to think big and create something extraordinary together."

Still open to visitors until 30 April 2025

The record-breaking gondola and the interactive LEGO world can be visited in the Pardorama mountain restaurant until 30 April 2025. Guests therefore still have plenty of opportunity to experience this extraordinary work of art up close.
