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 />
