Meiringen-Hasliberg-Ropeways

In July of 2005 the new 8-seater gondola, Reuti-Bidmi-Mägisalp, will be opened. The reconstruction of the stations will begin in May of 2004. The new lift will be installed at the end of the 2004/05 winter season.

The targeted transport capability is 1400 persons/h. The total investment, with the construction of new snow making machines, is estimated at 20 million francs. In compliance with the regional transport laws the province will fund the operation with 2 million francs under with the condition that the connection of the Meiringen-Hasliberg-Ropeways and the Sport-Ropeways Hasliber-Käserstatt is realised in the near future.

Extension of the snow making facilites will be carried out with snow experts from the Swiss TechnoAlpin.

The snow making machines will benefit 1,83 km of pistes in which the TechnoAlpin routing system will be layed: Alpinala water pipes from Saint Gobain pipes and 16 full automatic TechnoAlpin connection points with automatic water valves, Hydromat SE.

In all 16 snow making machines from TechnoAlpin will provide a snow paradise in Meiringen Hasliberg: 2 M15 on 10 m arms, 1 M15 on 6 m arms, 1 M15 on a universal tower and 12 mobile M15.

The data-transport-system ATASS (Automatic TechnoAlpin Snowmaking System) guarantees the fully automatic control of the whole snow making facility.
