A new 8-seater chairlift
A modern lift combining comfort, speed, and quiet
Construction was still heavily underway this past autumn to ensure an on-time opening of the new Riffelberg-Gifthittli 8-seater chairlift. As the central transport link between several sectors, access to the new lift was optimised by designing a straight entry in the direction of movement, which improves the flow of guests and makes boarding much more comfortable for passengers. Designed and built by Leitner, the new lift can transport 3,400 people/hour and travels 6 metres/second. Also equipped with weather protection hoods, it operates in near silence, and the departure and arrival stations are both solar powered.
