What’s believed to be a world-first solar-powered T Bar lift will help make the new ski lift connection between Westendorf and the rest of the SkiWelt this winter.
As previously reported the new connection involves the conveyor lift, a T Bar lift, a bridge over the main road at Brixen and a new eight passenger gondola, the “SkiWelt – Kitzbüheler Alpen”, to make the ascent up to Westendorf, and a new 4.5km run back down.
The ski tow is powered by a photovolatic system which even in poor weather has enough power to keep the lift running smoothly. The lift hasd been aptly named, “Sonnenlift”
