CD8C Kapauns

The new CD8C Kapauns in the tourist region of Zillertal has replaced an old system built in 1993, and its extended route takes it right up to the top of the col. This has created a new link between Zell and Gerlos. The new routing has almost doubled the associated pistes to over 2.5 km, bringing some to above 2500 m in the process, and making them fully north-facing, which means excellent snow conditions right into the spring. This part of the Zillertal Arena, with its 147 km of slopes, has been made significantly more attractive by the new ropeway. With a journey time of around seven minutes, the new 8-seater chairlift carries up to 3000 people per hour along a route of nearly two kilometers. It incorporates not only the latest ropeway technology from LEITNER, but also, in collaboration with world-renowned architects Snøhetta, a strong architectural dimension. The new stations feature designs that are minimalist yet spectacular.
