© Silvretta Montafon_Stefan Kothner New boost for Silvretta Montafon The Doppelmayr subsidiary Input developed a concept for the Hochjoch area of Silvretta Montafon in Vorarlberg to enhance its attractiveness for summer guests. Montafon in Vorarlberg is well-known for winter sports and enjoys great popularity among local visitors as well as guests from around the world. The Silvretta Montafon ski area offers spectacular downhill runs and freeride possibilities. The goal of Silvretta Montafon is to make the resort with its magnificent mountain scenery, up to now purely a winter destination, more attractive for summer tourists and families by creating additional offers for the warmer months of the year. Authentic and relevant to the region Opened in summer <strong>2019</strong>, the Adventure Mountain Hochjoch immediately next to the top station of the Hochjoch tramway is a step in that direction. Input designed a sustainable, nature-themed world of experience that relates to the Montafon region. “The concept is entirely in tune with Montafon and its stunning mountain landscape – authentic and honest. There is a common theme throughout. The new offer is also perfectly embedded in the existing infrastructure,” says Input’s managing director Hannes Triebnik. The concept features a large number of interactive stations where children can try things out and enjoy new experiences. In the motor skills playground, the youngsters can put their sense of balance to the test. The bridge between the climbing rocks gives them their first experience of thrilling heights. Rocking stones mimic the kind of unsteady ground you might encounter when hiking. The stations on the forces of nature trail teach children about mountain features in a way that is both fun and helps them to remember what they have learned. The one-hour trail is also based on a very interactive concept. The lake biotope offers various features to while away the hours and play. Youngsters can shoot water fountains into the sky, propel rafts using wave pumps and enter new sensory worlds on the barefoot path. Popular with guests All in all, an exciting world of experience has been created with a high fun factor. Martin Oberhammer, managing director of Silvretta Montafon, sums up the positive results after the first summer: “The Adventure Mountain Hochjoch has been very well received by our guests and we get a lot of positive feedback.” Summer tourism on the Hochjoch has received a fresh boost as a result. As Silvretta Montafon expands offers of this kind, it will come ever closer to its goal of becoming a year-round destination for the mountain experience – and impress its guests at the same time.
International Projects 17 With high-speed to the top 6/8-CGD Express du Village | Bromont, Québec (CAN) Bromont, montagne d’expériences 1,283 m 357 m 3,220 PPH 5.0 m/s 4.4 min 18 8-passenger cabins 72 6-passenger chairs 12/2018 In Bromont, Canada, a new ropeway was built with a lot of passion and effort – to achieve the best mountain experience for the guests. Almost 54 years after the first chairlift was built in Bromont, Canada, a new era of speed and comfort has come to the area. The combination lift “Express du Villa ge” is a 4-seasons installation that brings skiers to the ski slopes and offers a comfortable trip to the new lodge on the mountaintop all year round. The passengers can choose from 6-seater chairs and 8-seater gondolas – so everyone has the best ride. The guests at Bromont enjoy the new improvements in the resort: optimized slopes, the new mountaintop lodge, a new customer service center and of course the new ropeway. The skiing park in winter, the aqua park in summer and some action with mountain bikes make Bromont an attractive destination, only an hour drive away from Montréal. Take a look at how this installation came to life: The new combination lift is a great addition to our resort. We are proud of the work that was accomplished with the Doppelmayr team. The results are great for our mountain and our guests are enjoying the ride. Benjamin Désourdy, Directeur, Développement et projets montagne, at Bromont, montagne d'expériences. Challenge accepted High-speed does not only apply to the short travel time for the passengers but also to the construction phase. There were not even ten months between signing the contract and opening the new combination lift – regardless of the challenging weather conditions. Winter arrived very early; it was wet, foggy and windy. The weather could change within minutes. The whole crew of committed and hardworking people was the key factor in successfully finishing the ropeway for the winter season 2018/<strong>2019</strong>.
