Last season, Manuel Feller celebrated one of the greatest successes of his career in Kitzbühel.

The 33-year-old was crowned winner of the slalom on the Ganslernhang for the first time, thus fulfilling a childhood dream. 

Like every Kitzbühel winner, Feller received his own gondola at the Hahnenkammbahn weeks ago. Now, the Tyrolean has also been honored by his home community of Fieberbrunn.

There, a gondola was specially designed for the technical skier. It features Feller's own logo and commemorates both his Hahnenkamm victory and the win of the 2023/24 Slalom Crystal Globe.

"Means a lot to me"

"I think it's beautiful. My logo from my own line is visible on it, and the red matches the gondola perfectly," says Feller at the symbolic handover.

"The memories of this place and the people in Fieberbrunn are priceless to me. When you see how many people come here today and how many have supported me over all these years, that means a lot to me," said the Austrian slalom star.
