At the South Tyrolean ski resort of Speikboden, the new CD8C Seenock chairlift replaces a 4-seater chairlift which has already been operating for 30 years. The new chairlift uses the existing route and features LEITNER DirectDrive, premium faux leather seats, weather bubbles, and seat heating. The modern 8-seater chairlift’s station has been designed by Italy’s renowned Pininfarina studio. The new ropeway increases capacity to 3400 passengers per hour, brings the journey time down to just four minutes, and gives easy access to the various slopes of this family-friendly ski resort, the highlight of which is an almost five-mile-long valley run involving 1450 meters of descent – one of the biggest drops in South Tyrolean skiing.
