This Is The Highest Capacity Chairlift In The World

SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser–Brixental in Austria, one of the largest and most modern ski areas in the entire world, is officially home to a pretty unique lift. The EibergBahn is the world’s highest-capacity detachable 8-seater chairlift. Not only that, but it’s the world’s highest capacity chairlift, transporting up to 4,570 passengers per hour.

The new lift replaces two 4-seater chairlifts that transported well over one million guests every season. It’s maximum operating speed is five meters per second with comfortable seat heating in the chairs. A 140kWp photovoltaic system on the valley station’s roof generates about 50% of the requiring annual energy for the lift, too.
