NEW WASSERKAR 6-person Chair-Lift

SÖLDEN FURTHER ENHANCES COMFORT IN THE SKI AREA

In the coming 2014/2015 winter season winter sport fans can look forward to a highly attractive upgrade in the Sölden ski area. A detachable 6-seater chair lift promises even more comfort on Gaislachkogl, the resort's favorite ski mountain.
After completion of the spectacular IceQ gourmet and design restaurant on top of Gaislachkogl peak at 3048 meters altitude, Bergbahnen Sölden Mountain Lift Company is centering on further investments for the 2014/2015 winter season. A completely new chair lift model, produced by Austria's market leader Doppelmayr, replaces the old Wasserkar lift. The state-of-the-art six-seater chair lift boasts a total hourly capacity of 2400 persons, and is equipped with comfy weather protection covers for unlimited skiing fun in all weathers. Additionally, the new base station of Wasserkar can be found about half a kilometer below the old terminal. Positive side effect: riding times on the longer mountain lift are 2 minutes shorter thanks to top modern lift technologies.
More safety on the ski lift
The new chair lift features a truly innovative safety system. Restraining devices are locked automatically and can't be opened during the lift ride. After leaving the base station the restraining bar must be locked manually and can be opened only shortly before you leave the mountain lift.
Attractive skiing terrain
The new Wasserkar lift ensures even more skiing fun on Gaislachkogl mountain as the base station is built about half a kilometer further down and the scenic black ski run will be one and a half kilometers longer than before. Furthermore a new blue ski run of intermediate difficulty leads from the middle station of Gaislachkogl mountain gondola to the new Wasserkar base station, promising unlimited skiing fun also for less advanced skiers who want to reach the area surrounding Gaislach and Heidebahn 6-seater chair lift.
