The new ‘Lange Wandbahn’ railway (detachable 6-seater chairlift with comfortable leather upholstery and weather-protection hoods) in a modern Ischgl design transports piste enthusiasts up to the highest peak in the Silvretta Arena in just 5.6 minutes. The heated seats ensure the journey up into the mountains is a pleasant one.
The modern detachable 6-seater chairlift will cost 8 million euros and will have its mountain station at 2,850 m and valley station at 2,217 m. Once at the Greit peak, Winter sports enthusiasts will be greeted with breath-taking panoramic mountain views across the magnificent Silvretta mountain range and the perfectly prepared pistes, which are typical of the Ischgl region.
From the coming Winter season, skiers can enjoy the use of 41 lift facilities and 238 km of pistes. The lift and railway facilities as a whole can transport 83,065 people per hour. For more information and to view the construction documents, please visit baubericht.ischgl.com

The greatest investment being made by the ‘Bergbahnen Samnaun AG’ lifts company is the replacement of the fixed grip Muller chairlift (built in 1991) with an efficient automatically detachable 6-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods. The chairlift will be fitted with comfortable leather upholstery.
From December, a new Doppelmayr – Garaventa chairlift will await ski enthusiasts in the Alp Bella region with a capacity of 3,000 people per hour.This impressive capacity of 3,000 people per hour will ensure that long waiting times are a thing of the past.

Given its high altitude (core ski area over 2,300 m), the Silvretta Arena has one of the highest certainties of natural snowfall in the Alps, as last Winter proved! Despite this, the ‘Silvrettaseilbahn AG’ and ‘Bergbahnen Samnaun AG’ lift companies are investing heavily in expanding the technical artificial snow-making facilities here.

• Pumped and compressed air unit, Bodenalpe
• Snow-machines for Zeblas valley descent
• Additional 5 km of pistes covered by snow machines
• approx. 70 % of entire ski resort is covered by snow machine facilities

Snow coverage is therefore guaranteed on all of the most beautiful pistes – even if Mother Nature decides to take a break!
