Valle de Las Leñas is pleased to inform you about the purchase of a new cutting-edge ski lift, featuring state-of-the art technology, provided by Austrian company Doppelmayr, world leader in quality, safety and technology in ski lifts.

The new ski lift is a quad chairlift, featuring a modern system for entering the lift which allows comfortable access and reduces waiting time. Prior to ascent, the skier slides over a moving mat, which propels her/him up to the right speed so that s/he can sit on the chair in a smooth and effortless manner.

The new ski lift will be installed in the Minerva area, the busiest area on the mountain, and, together with existing ski lifts (TS Caris and TK Minerva), will allow a total of 4,230 people per hour to access the area, thus tripling current capacity.

Stats:

• 1,190 m (length)
• 296.50 meter vertical rise
• 7.9 minute ascent
• 2,100 skiers/snowboarders per hour
• Quad chair
