New ropeways across Europe

Seven new Leitner ropeways in ski resorts in Central Eastern Europe

The Slovakian skiing area Bachledka Ski & Sun has invested in a new 6-seater chairlift with Leitner DirectDrive. The CD6C Franková upgrades the popular family skiing area with a transport capacity of almost 3,000 passengers per hour. In the course of the work, the 10-seater gondola lift built by Leitner in 2018 was also equipped with nine additional cabins, to further increase the transport capacity.

Three new facilities were built in Poland in 2024. In addition to a new surface lift, a comfortable 6-seater chairlift has also been built in Szczyrk Mountain Resort, one of the largest skiing areas in the country. The CD6C Doliny III is equipped with weather bubbles, individual footrests and premium padding and reaches an hourly capacity of 1,800 passengers, with a journey time of less than four minutes. This will noticeably increase the quality of the trip to the skiing area, which offers 36 km of mostly beginner-friendly slopes.

A new inclined elevator serves as a modern access to the ski jump in Wisla. In a modern 3S Symphony cabin, the facility with automatic level control transports up to 40 people up 300 metres and can also be used for tourist purposes in summer.

New installations in southern Europe

In Chelmos, in the northern part of the Peloponnese peninsula, Leitner has now built a new 6-seater chairlift to replace a disused 2-seater chairlift, following the construction of a 10-seater gondola lift in 2023. The Styga facility covers an altitude difference of 475 metres and transports up to 1,500 passengers per hour to the top station of the Chelmos - Kalavrita skiing area in just five minutes.

Two new Leitner surface lifts are modernising the transport of guests at the Kolašin ski resort in Montenegro, symbolising the resort’s plans to become the largest skiing area in southern Europe with up to 250 kilometres of slopes. Further ropeway facilities and connections to other skiing areas are planned for the near future.
