Brauneck and Wallbergbahnen GmbH has started the new winter season by opening the new 6-seater chairlift ‘Schrödlsteinbahn’ on the Jaudenhang.
After positive experiences with the identical ‘Milchhäuslexpress’ ropeway, the management chose the tried and trusted provider again when modernizing the ropeway: The new chairlift in the popular family ski resort is equipped with bubbles, individual footrests and seat heating. Compared with the ropeway’s predecessor, ‘Finstermünz’, the new system increases the capacity from 650 to 2,400 winter sports enthusiasts per hour.
Besides the increased eco-friendliness thanks to the Leitner DirectDrive technology, the implementation focused in particular on child-friendly functions. For example, the ropeway has automatic locking safety bars and a boarding conveyor belt with an automatic elevating platform for easier access. It detects whether a child or an adult is boarding, and elevates automatically.
