There has been a chairlift along this alignment since 1954 and this is the third iteration of it.The lift line is relatively short but very steep.Upper part of the lift.Another view of the summit seen from one of the other chairlifts in town.Doppelmayr Alpen-Star station.The previous double chair was damaged by fire in 2016.Loading area.View down the lift line.Near the summit.Breakover towers.Towers 10 and 11.The summit bullwheel.Tower 9.Another look down line.Towers 5 and six are both depression towers.View up at T5.Riding up near the base terminal.The color scheme is truly unique!T2.Lift line overview.The bottom terminal climb out.12 rocker sheave assemblies.The top bullwheel.Upper loading area.View from the summit.Top terminal plaza.
How slow does this lift run? I can imagine that it runs at near 250 ish FPM because of the close spacing and foot traffic.

“Truly unique” is certainly one way to describe it!
I just can’t stand painted chairs, everything else is OK.
