The first D-Line in Ukraine has opened in
the Bukovel ski area and provides access to
new ski trails.
Last winter saw the start-up of the 6-CLD Lift 3
in Bukovel, which is Ukraine’s first D-Line
chairlift. The ski area lies in Ivano-Frankivsk
Oblast in the Carpathian Mountains and first
opened in the year 2000. Bukovel is the biggest
ski resort in Ukraine with over one million
room-nights per annum. It boasts more than
68 kilometers of ski trails covering all levels
of difficulty for skiers and snowboarders, a
children’s area, several practice areas, a snow
park and a large number of restaurants. The
new lift provides access to a new section of
the ski area.
High transport capacity
A large number of winter sports enthusiasts
can now use the new lift for fast, safe repeat
rides up the mountain. The modern chairlift
handles the high volumes of visitors with ease.
The installation is propelled by an AC drive and
ensures top performance with a transport capacity
of 3,000 passengers an hour. A loading
conveyor in the bottom station makes boarding
easy for young and old alike. The trip on
the comfortable 6-seater chairs over a distance
of 818 meters takes a matter of minutes
and promises breathtaking vistas of the entire
ski area.
Top and bottom stations in eye-catching design
The lift includes the ropeway control system
Doppelmayr Connect – which makes operation
particularly convenient and straightforward for
the lift company. A generously dimensioned
station building at the top has a mini parking
facility with a maintenance platform and space
for three chairs. In addition, a large recreation
room provides ample comfort for ropeway personnel.
The design of the red bottom station
and blue top station, refl ecting the colors of the
ski resort’s logo, is particularly eye-catching.
With the new chairlift, we can offer skiers
and snowboarders fast transport up the
mountain. At the same time, we’re expanding
our ski resort to include a
new section, which enables
us to boost the winter sports
enjoyment of our guests.
