The new “Scheene Bodu” reservoir created by the Aletsch Bahnen AG lift company in the Goppisberg sector (Riederalp) of the ski area is ready to enter operation from winter 2018/19.
The benefits of this project, which cost 5.2 million francs, are diverse. First of all, it will allow more efficient snow-making for the pistes. The scheme will also help firefighting: helicopters will be able to refill their buckets from the reservoir. With a volume of 95,000 cubic metres, the artificial lake will additionally become a tourism attraction in summer and autumn. The scheme also represents the most cost-effective solution, as water-pumping costs will decrease dramatically thanks to the reservoir’s location.
