“Convincing overall<br />
concept”<br />
Bartholet Maschinenbau AG convinced<br />
those responsible for a chairlift<br />
project in Vianden, Luxembourg,<br />
with a concept that was perfectly tailored<br />
to the existing chairlift line.<br />
Since 1955, a chairlift has been facilitating<br />
access to Vianden Castle, a<br />
very well-known tourist attraction in<br />
Luxembourg. Bartholet Maschinenbau<br />
AG was awarded the contract for<br />
the overall renovation of the railway.<br />
“The company presented the most<br />
convincing overall concept, taking<br />
the existing chairlift line fully into<br />
account”, explains Gaby Franzten-<br />
Heger, mayoress of the tourist<br />
town in Luxembourg. According to<br />
Franzten-Heger, the charlift, which<br />
was opened in 2006, functions perfectly.<br />
Some 80,000 passengers are<br />
transported every summer.<br />
