SunKid and BORER Ski Lifts, Wonder Carpet, and Carousel on Hasliberg Mountain:
Top-Notch Ski Instruction Fun on the Hasliberg!

The ski slopes of Meiringen-Hasliberg are located in the Berner Oberland and boast over 65 kilometres of slopes with the most modern lift equipment. This ski destination in the centre of Switzerland caters especially to families with its wide offerings for children and beginners. The excellent skiing school on the Hasliberg contributes to this reputation, and relies on the BORER Lift Company to provide lift equipment for children and beginners throughout the 60,000m2 facilities.

At peak operation, 100 qualified ski instructors work with 600 children and beginners on the Hasliberg. In order to keep pace with this great demand, the skiing school is continuously expanding and improving the beginner area. For this ongoing task, Roland Frutiger, the director of the skiing school, puts his trust in the quality offered by BORER and SunKid's lifts and Wonder Carpets. Currently, the school utilizes one SunKid Wonder Carpet with a length of 18 metres, two PinoCord Cable Lifts, 2 BORER Star Lifts, and one new SwissCord Cable Lift at 171 metres in length.

The SwissCord cable lift belongs to the new, comprehensive lift programme at the BORER and SunKid companies. The SwissCord is designed with an innovative cable return which runs high over the passengers' heads, allowing skiers to exit the lift on both sides. The motorized height setting simplifies grooming on the slopes by allowing the lift to be raised at both ends to 3.7m. In the same way, the system can also be adjusted to the size of the passengers and to varying snow depths.
