Two Big New Lifts For Kitzbuhel In 2010-11

Lift manufacturer Leitner has reported that the leading Austrian resort of Kitzbuhel has ordered two new lifts for next winter – a 10 passenger cable car and another eight-seater chairlift.

The new Maierl gondola will be Austria's first ten-seat gondola, and will replace a double chairlift and a drag lift on the route.

The 2.7km long lift will take users up more than 671 vertical metres and transport 2,400 passengers per hour. It will also offer heated seats.

The new Ocsalm chairlift will be 1.16km long and can carry up to 3,300 skiers per hour. Like the new Pengelstein eight-seater that the resort installed for this winter, the new lift will also have a pull down weather protection hood.
