Lenzerheide Bergbahnen - Leitner Building Replacement Tali Chairlift

The Täli chairlift was built in 1994 by the Leitner company and is the fourth most frequently used transport facility in the ski area. The safety control system was renewed in 2014. The concession and operating permit for the Täli chairlift expired after 30 years of operation and, due to its condition, cannot be extended without major investments.

The Täli chairlift is currently being replaced by a new transport system from Leitner for the winter of 2024/25. The Lenzerheide Bergbahnen are building what is probably the most sustainable replacement system in the Alpine region in terms of the construction and operation of the system. The new system will be equipped with a direct drive and the chairs will be designed in a comfort design.

The garage, most of the supports and foundations of the current transport system will be upgraded, renewed and retained as far as possible. A comfortable 4-seater chairlift with hoods and a transport capacity of 1,800 people/h will be built. The drive is planned as a direct drive without a gearbox, which consumes around 10% less energy. The mountain station and the garage will be the location of photovoltaic modules. Thanks to EcoDrive, the system will automatically adjust its speed to demand. The waste heat from the system will be used to heat the rooms at the mountain station.
