From the parking place to the valley station, as a feeder for gastronomy, across bridges or through underpasses, as a connection to the town centre or public transport and many other applications. More and more destinations rely on the Sunkid conveyor belt as an intelligent transport solution in the skiing areas, also away from the classical slopes.

You know how it goes: stressed-out parents with their children, skiing equipment and ski shoes on their feet, trying to navigate to the slope from the parking place up to the valley station. They are carrying skis and poles, which seem to develop a life of their own on the way and are difficult to control. Their skiing day starts out anything but relaxed.
It could be different: There could be a Sunkid conveyor belt, receiving the guests at the end of the parking place and comfortably taking them towards the valley station.

The Oberstdorf facility is an example of installations of this kind. A new, broader Sunkid conveyor belt with a length of 130 metres replaced the previous one at the beginning of this winter. It takes guests from the parking place of the Söllereckbahn right to the entrance area of the valley station, overcoming an altitude difference of 27 metres. It surely isn't a lot, but with ski shoes on the feet and equipment in hand, it's anything but inviting.
When entering the Sunkid conveyor belt, the restorative skiing day for the guests starts right at the end of the parking place, however.
