Six-seater chairlift Iso-Syöte Express
Express chairlift opens for winter season 25/26
A brand-new Leitner six-seater chairlift will open for winter season 2025-2026. The new lift takes just over three minutes to ride, cutting the ascent time down by nearly half, and making for a much more enjoyable experience. Opposing to the existing t-bars, the chairlift will, for the first time, open a straight access to the summit from the front side of the ski resort.
Chairlift will be open for most of the year. During the winter guests are mainly skiers and snowboarders, during the summer bikers. The new chair will also be open for sightseeing and transportation to reach Iso-Syöte summit. A scenic ride on the Iso-Syöte Express to the summit is the perfect easy access attraction, winter and summer. For summer season the chairs are equipped with bike racks and can carry up to three mountain bikes and three people simultaneously.
