Innsbruck/Igls (A): The Sunkid Comfort Star on the Olympic Hill

Innsbruck/Igls: The Comfort Star small ski lift on the Patscherkofel Olympic Hill offers the ideal loophole between the Sunkid Wonder Carpet and the “big” T-bar lift.

Innsbruck/Igls is the only place in the world where the Olympic fire for the winter games has been lit three times already. Just a few weeks ago, the city hosted the Alpine competition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games YOG which were held for the first time ever. Yet even any Olympic champion in skiing starts off from the very beginning. To close the gap between the Wonder Carpet for beginners and the various “big” T-bar lifts for more advanced sports enthusiasts, as of this winter Patscherkofel mastermind Peter Schröcksnadel has launched a Sunkid Comfort Star for the comfort of visitors.

While the ride up with the Wonder Carpet is not a big problem for beginners, the subsequent transfer to the various T-bar lifts can have its pitfalls. So that skiers of all levels can intertwine with each other as smoothly as possible, Sunkid has added the "Comfort Star" small ski lift to its offer. This small ski lift gives the benefit of introducing the beginners to ski lift use in a simple way. And all that at a length of up to 984 feet (300m) without supports and without a fixed foundation.
