Relocation of the Overhauled Chairlift “Capanno–Colere”
The general overhaul and relocation of the two-seater “Capanno” chairlift, located in the Municipality of Colere (BG), has been successfully completed, restoring full operational status in compliance with current safety and technical regulations. The intervention preserved the original configuration while upgrading mechanical, electrical, and structural components.
The system features an inclined length of 459.74 meters, a vertical drop of 162.60 meters, 7 line towers, a transport capacity of 1,183 people/hour, and operates at 2.5 m/s with a 3-minute travel time. The carrying-hauling rope (Redmont 636, Ø 42 mm) was inspected and refurbished, and the 300 kW drive motor with hydraulic tensioning was retained. The relocation also included the installation of underground fiber optic and multipolar copper connections between stations, and full compatibility with the existing ski slopes was verified. The lift is now authorized for both daytime and nighttime skier transport, fully meeting updated safety, reliability, and service standards.
