Lake Luise Ski Resort: Major upgrades are almost complete on Glacier Express

Glacier Express taking a little breather lately, it’s for a VERY exciting reason - the lift is receiving a full upgrade to its control and braking systems.

Since opening in 2000, Glacier Express has carried skiers, riders and summer gondola guests year-round, so it's come time for it to get a well-deserved refresh.

Here’s a peek at what's been happening behind the scenes:

- Full rewiring of the entire lift, including brand-new fibre optics and communication cables

- Replacement of all control system components with new industrial computers monitoring all safety functions

- Over 300 sensors and switches upgraded to keep constant watch on the safety functions of the lift

- All electronic drives replaced and upgraded for smoother, more efficient control

- Major upgrades to the lift’s braking systems

- A fresh interface for our lift operators

These upgrades will ensure Glacier Express continues to meet - and exceed - Canadian safety standards, delivering dependable, state-of-the-art performance for many seasons to come.
