Sustainable Lift Technology Transforms Two Premier Swiss Ski Resorts St. Moritz-Corviglia and Arosa Lenzerheide are leading the way in sustainable ski resort operations with major lift upgrades that maximise existing infrastructure. These "retrofit projects" by LEITNER demonstrate how ski resorts can modernise their facilities while minimising environmental impact.
At St. Moritz's Corviglia ski area, home to 155 kilometres of slopes reaching above 3,000 meters, the popular FIS lift is receiving a complete transformation. The upgrade includes replacing the 20-year-old drive system with LEITNER's more efficient DirectDrive technology.
The 6-seater chairlift's bubble chairs are being redesigned to provide a quieter ride, wider seats, and higher backrests for enhanced comfort. “We are convinced that these installations will not only be a milestone in the Swiss ropeway industry but will also serve as a shining example for future projects.” — Markus Sigrist - Sales Manager LEITNER Switzerland
