Doppelmayr- 8/10 is the magic formula in Mayrhofen
Lagt til av: Espen Børresen | publisert: 29.03.2011
Mayrhofen in Tyrol's Ziller Valley celebrated a world première with the inauguration of the combined lift up to the Penken: For the first time, skiers can choose between 8-seater chairs and 10-passenger gondolas. The lift has an impressive capacity of 3,900 PPH.

The combined lift up to the Penken has a ratio of two chairs to one gondola. In the summer, gondolas are used exclusively; and 20 fully glazed standard gondolas alternate with six airy, open-top gondolas. © |

The new combined lift replaces a triple chairlift built in 1984. It starts at the top station of the 2S bicable Penken lift. This acts as a feeder in the central area of the resort where altitudes range from 900 m to 2,000 m. The stations are entirely new, while the lift line has been retained. The carriers are housed separately in the underground parking facility at the bottom station. As they can be sent into circulation in random order, there is plenty of flexibility when it comes to addressing transport needs. Passengers wearing skis use the chairs, while other guests take the gondolas.
The benefits of combined lifts:
- Optimal adjustment to suit differing needs of summer and winter operation
- Easy handling for children's ski classe
- Straightforward transport of bulky sports equipment and freight
