A large number of Doppelmayr/Garaventa ropeways will be in operation
at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea. In total, there will
be 22 installations at the four main venues, which are Yongpyong Resort,
host to the slalom and giant slalom competitions, the Bokwang Snow
Park for the freestyle skiing and snowboard events, Alpensia Resort
for ski jumping, biathlon, cross-country and the sliding sports, as
well as the Jeongseon Alpine Center for downhill, super-G and super
