MODERNIZATION<br />
Lenzerheide Bergbahnen AG and <strong>Garaventa</strong> have<br />
converted the Weisshorn Speed chairlift in the Lenzerheide<br />
Bike Kingdom in Switzerland from winteronly<br />
operation to year-round use. Originally built in<br />
1999, the chairlift now has a new control system, 76<br />
new chairs with bubbles plus 38 new bike carriers.<br />
This means that riders can get to their trails with even<br />
greater speed and comfort.<br />
The bike carriers are fitted with bike clips. Handling<br />
is entirely straightforward. Riders attach their bikes<br />
themselves and then follow their bikes on the next<br />
chair. The reduced transit speed in the bottom station<br />
and the practical bike clips make attaching the<br />
bikes particularly convenient. In the top station, the<br />
bikes are retrieved with a simple hand movement. In<br />
Lenzerheide, four bikes can be transported per bike<br />
carrier.<br />
