Snow reliability is an important issue for Switzerland's Bergbahnen Lenk, as for many ski resorts around the world. This particular ski resort has been investing in the expansion of its snow-making systems for many years to guarantee winter seasons with first-class snow coverage both now and in the future.

After five years of planning and negotiating with the authorities and various organizations, the "Betelberg snow-making project" was approved in March 2020. The project includes the construction of a reservoir and the essential pumping plant.
In addition to the new Leiterli reservoir with a water capacity of almost 90,000 m³, 11 km of new snow-making lines are also under construction. In future, these new lines will accommodate 68 new Techno Alpin TR10 and TR8 snow guns for guaranteed snow coverage. The two latest revolutionary snow guns are not only impressive because of their innovative technology but they also demonstrate high levels of energy efficiency and performance in borderline temperatures.
Thanks to TechnoAlpin, snow coverage will be guaranteed on approximately 70% of the Betelberg slopes from the 2020/2021 winter season onwards.
