    Ski lifts at the ski resort Balderschwang – Hochschelpen/​Riedberger Horn

    In the Balderschwang ski area, the detachable four-seater chairlift Schelpen covers almost the entire front side of the Schelpen. The Riedberger Horn is accessed by a double chairlift. T-bar and platter lifts provide the connection between Schelpen and Riedberger Horn. Since the 2016/17 season, a fast six-seater chairlift leads up to the Hochschelpen. For beginners, practice lifts (platter and T-bar lifts) are available in the valley.
