To be replaced by: Cliff House Gondola (YOC 2026, planned) » 10pers. Gondola lift (monocable circulating ropeway)
1/7 North American
The 2-seater chairlift North American, also known as Big Chair, was completely overhauled and rebuilt in 2015. Based on the principle of a group circulating lift, several chairs are attached to the haul rope in quick succession, with a large gap to the next group. This group is loaded at a slow speed, while at the same time another group is unloaded at the mountain station. The ride along the route then takes place at a higher speed.
