New Lifts at Kitzbühel for 2008/2009 Ski Season
Kitzbühel will install a new detachable quad chairlift “Ganslern” servicing the original Streif World Cup slope in advance of the coming season. This lift, which replaces a double chairlift on the route, will be; ideal for all races, organization and for the Kitzbüheler Ski Club at any time.
In addition a new eight seater gondola on the Bichlalm is currently in the planning stage with the aim of completing and opening it at some point during the 2008/09 season. Currently there is no lift providing access to the ski area Bichlalm followingt the closure of the single chair which operated on that route in 2005. Currently the Kitzbughel Lift company is negotiating with land owners over the gondola project.
Snowmaking will also be enhanced with new reservoirs Jochberg/Wagstätt and Usterkar ensuring snow-covered trails in the Jochberg-Hahnenkamm-Pengelstein within 60 hrs. Snowmaking facilities on Steinbergkogel/Griesalm will also be completed and there will be trail improvements
Finally there will be enhanced rider comfort on the quad chair Hochsaukaser with a loading conveyor installed to ensure quicker rides.
