As the announcement notes, «It will be the first lift of its kind in Russia». The press office explained that the cable car will be built on the southern slope of the Aibga mountain and will reach 2.2 thousand meters above sea level with a 600-meter altitude drop. The new ropeway will be 2 kilometers long and run parallel to the Edelweiss chair lift, which is currently in operation. «It will be the 30th lift at the resort with capacity of 2,4 thousand people per hour», — said company representative.
