Jasná Chopok (Slovakia): New cable car

CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW CABLE CAR KRUPOVÁ – KOSODREVINA 1,080 – 1,488 metres above sea level

Skiing on the southern side of Mt. Chopok will have a new dimension next winter. Skiers can look forward to comfortable transport to Mt. Chopok from the winter season of 2016/17 – with a new 15-person cable car that will be operating in the locality Krupová - Srdiečko - Kosodrevina. This means one will not need to change between a chairlift and a cable car anymore and can avoid two ski lifts at the lower station.
