The 8-person chair-lift with seat heating, weather protection and child harnesses offers special comfort.
The “Lofi Funline” ensures fun and action with many exciting rails and jumps. Little snow bunnies will feel particularly great in the fun children’s area with magic carpet and will playfully take their first turns with plenty of fun.
