Slopes at the Silvretta Arena in Ischgl/Samnaun

The Silvrettabahn was constructed in summer 1998. It boasts a vertical rise of 961 m, a route distance of 3.938 mand a maximum capacity of up to 3.440 persons/hour. The middle station is located at 1.683 m above sea level. 1,4 Mio. guests per winter season use the facility.

Its 24-passenger bicable ropeway design (funitel system) facilitates safe operation even at wind speeds of 100 km/h. 63 gondolas run from Ischgl to Idalp with a maximum line speed of up to 6 m/s.

The transport system has a total of 23 pillars with a height of up to 23 m. 8 motors with a total capac i ty of 3.200 kW (4.350 PS) are required for the operation of the Silvrettabahn.

Opened in 1993, the 4-seater chairlift has a capacity of 2,400 pax/h and has successfully completed a total of 30 million rides. The Flimjoch chairlift runs from Idalp to Flimjoch at 2,752 m above sea level.

The peak times for the line are in the morning and the late afternoon. The chairlift is particularly busy during the morning when it serves to whisk visitors to the back bowl ski area of Alp Trida. In order to optimise this vital link to the Idalp-Alp Trida axis, the existing 4-seater chairlift at Flimjoch will be replaced by a modern 8-seater with a capacity of 3,200 pax/h in summer 2016. The mountain station will also be upgraded to ensure safe operation even in windy conditions. The exit area will be enclosed. This will allow the operator to open the wind-sheltered side, which can be determined depending on the wind direction.

The two underground floors of the valley station feature a chairlift garage, a filling station, a slope equipment garage and storage facilities.
