At the Les Portes du Soleil ski resort on the border between France and Switzerland, LEITNER built a 6-seater chairlift in 2019, and is now once again upgrading the quality of facilities in this megaski area. This region has been one of the world’s biggest winter destinations for over 50 years, and unites 12 areas offering a total of 580 km of slopes. The new “Du Lac – Intrets” 6-seater chairlift has a total capacity of 3,000 people per hour and is to replace an ageing system. The modern ropeway offers much greater capacity and improved comfort, as well as fewer towers and noticeably less noise due to the use of LEITNER DirectDrive.
