Particular signs of the device

- The stations are equipped with LEITNER Premium covers
- The cabins have panoramic glazing and sliding doors with a large opening of ~950 mm.
- The installation’s operating speed of 7 m/s reduces the number of cabins in line. As a result, the power rating calculated for the new gondola lift’s motor has been reduced to 469 kW at the provisional flow rate (i.e. 6% less than the existing installation with a power rating of 500 kW).
- By optimising the 9-tower line, we have also significantly reduced the costs of servicing, checking and maintaining the line structures.
- This is also the case for the detachable attachments and the vehicles, with 36 cabins at the provisional capacity compared with 104 seats for the existing installation.
