New 6-Seat Chairlift For Italy’s Arabba

J2SkiNews posted 03-Nov



The Arabba – Marmaloda ski area on the Dolomiti Superski pass and part of the Sellaronda circuit will unveil a new high-speed detachable six-seat chairlifts to visitors this winter at the Padon Pass.

The new "Piani Di Ornella-Passo Padon" lift replaces an old double chairlift that dates back to 1982.

Carrying skiers and boarders up to 2,370m the new Leitner built lift is of course faster, travelling at 6 metres per second to make the ascent in just over two minutes, with more comfort and a higher capacity than its predecessor.

The new lift's ascent time is less than half that of the lift it replaces and 2,198 skier per hour capacity more than double that of the old lift.

Arabba – Marmaloda will open for its 24-24 season on 5th December.
