New 8-seater chairlift at Štrbské Pleso: experience more comfort
Štrbské Pleso is entering a significant phase of modernization that will affect the quality of skiing for years to come.
After decades of operation, the old ski lift on Medvedia kopa is being replaced by a new, modern 8-seater chairlift, which will provide visitors with faster, safer, and smoother transport to the slopes.
This investment confirms that Štrbské Pleso remains one of the most popular winter destinations in Slovakia.
A cable car that will simplify your skiing day
The new technology is designed to make the stay more enjoyable not only for experienced skiers, but especially for families with children.
Offers:
- capacity of up to 2,400 people per hour – significantly reducing waiting times in line
- Detachable boarding system – the lift slows down during boarding, ensuring a smooth and safe boarding process.
- protective wind bubbles – comfort and warmth while riding, even in cold conditions
- speed approximately 5 m/s, allowing skiers to reach the top of the hill quickly and without unnecessary delays
These parameters are set to ensure a smooth skiing experience throughout the day, from the first lift to the last run.
Ready in the 2025/26 season
The cable car is ready to welcome its first visitors at the start of the ski season on December 6, 2025.
For Štrbské Pleso as a whole, this means a shift towards an even higher quality and modernly equipped resort that can offer families greater comfort and a better skiing experience.
