Equipped with the latest Leitner technology, the gearless DirectDrive system, and intelligent LeitControl management, it stands for sustainability, digitalization, and innovation.

A direct boarding in the direction of travel optimizes access, while weather protection hoods ensure a comfortable ride in all conditions. As a central link in Matterhorn Ski Paradise, the lift connects four varied slopes.

In terms of sustainability, it sets new standards as one of Switzerland’s first eight-seater chairlifts: solar panels, reused foundation supports, and modern staff infrastructure underline Zermatt Bergbahnen’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
