NEW IN ISCHGL/SAMNAUN – WINTER OF 2019/20

The wind of change is blowing for the aupcoming winter season

TWO NEW D-LINE CHAIR LIFTS

The Silvrettaseilbahn AG and the Bergbahnen Samnaun AG make further investments in improving the amenities in the ski area, and in summer 2019 will build the replacement facilities VELILLECK F1 (6-seat chairlift with hood) and VISNITZ N2 (8-seat chairlift with hood).

By the way:
Ischgl was voted “Best ski resort 2018” by the ski portal “Snow Plaza”. A title that has to be defended!

The new F1 VELILLECK chairlift will be the fastest chairlift in the Silvretta Arena Ischgl/Samnaun as of winter 2019/2020 with 6 m/s.

It will lead up to Pardatschgrat ridge along 16 round-pipe pillars. The new F1 chairlift is thus 1,353 m longer than the old Velilleck chairlift.

The new lower terminus (2,048 m) is in the same location, directly by the No. 7 ski run. The new corridor will veer off slightly to the north-east. The upper terminus of the Velilleck chairlift will also be constructed near the upper terminus of the Gratbahn B8 at 2,620 m.

Design
From the cable sheave all the way to the upholstery of the highly comfortable seats, everything was given a completely new design for the new Gampenbahn lift. The backs of the seats of the new facility were printed with images of plants from the surrounding nature this time. As with the Palinkopf and Gampenbahn lifts, every chair is unique.

Comfort
Highest passenger comfort and low-noise operation make the new Velilleckbahn lift first class. The new high-tech chairlift features a series of tangible improvements for our guests:

ergonomically shaped individual seats
520 mm wide seats with heating
safety-optimised design
optimised safety restraining bar
for very quiet operation and thus special comfort for our guests, this facility is particularly low-noise and low-vibration.

8-seat chair lift VISNITZ N2 in Samnaun

The new lift is scheduled to go into service in time for the new 2019/2020 winter season and will be the first 8-seat "D-Line" chairlift in Switzerland.

FIRST 8-SEAT "D-LINE" FACILITY IN SWITZERLAND

The new detachable 8-seat Visnitz chairlift leads along 13 round-pipe pillars from the Alp Trida (2,261 m) in direction of Visnitzkopf at 2,633 m, covering an elevation difference of 372 m. The lower terminus was already built in the summer of 2018 east of the mountain restaurant "Skihaus Alp Trida". Furthermore, the already established ski slope 68b also leads directly to the new lower terminus.
Thanks to the new 8-seat chairlift, 900 guests more per hour can now be carried.

As with the new Velilleckbahn chairlift, the chairs feature 520 mm wide individual seats, seat heaters and weather-protection hoods to provide guests with maximum travel comfort. The backs of the new D-Line seats will feature images depicting the history of Samnaun.
