Kitzbüheler Horn is benefitting from investments of around 17 million euros in the new 6-seater chairlift, "6SB Brunelle” and 10-passenger "Comfortline S 10EUB Raintal" gondola lift (including snowmaking facilities in the Raintalpisten section).
In Kitzbühel, two new lifts within the existing ski resort boundaries will start running on 08.12.2018. These lifts will improve capacity in the increasingly popular Kitzbüheler Horn while maintaining its status as a quiet family ski area. The cost of this along with the expanded snowmaking facilities amounts to around €17 million.
The “6SB Brunelle” chairlift features special wind stabilisers, which will keep wind sensitivity to a minimum. The new lift will also be equipped with heated seats made from real leather, covers and mechanical safety bars.
The "Comfortline S 10EUB Raintal" gondola’s bottom station is at an altitude of 1,460m. The extra comfortable cabins fit up to 10 passengers, and travel time will drop from 11.7 minutes to just 3.6 minutes.
The top and bottom stations will blend in seamlessly with the landscape thanks to their shingle, concrete and glass architecture.
