Schnee Paradies Hasliberg-titlis, Switzerland
Ecosign Mountain Resort Planners Ltd. based in Whistler, B.C., Canada carried out a Technical Feasibility study that recommended the connection of the three existing ski areas of Engelberg-Titlis and Melchsee-Frutt in Obwalden, and Hasliberg in the Berner Highlands. This merge resulted in the formation of one of the largest ski circuses in the Alps, now known as the Schnee Paradies Hasliberg-Titlis Connection covering over 210 kms of ski trails.
In their 2003 study, Ecosign recommended that the four companies of Bergbahnen Engleberg-Trübsee Titlis AG, Sportbahnen Melchsee-Frutt, Sportbahnen Hasliberg-Käserstatt AG, and Meringen-Hasliberg-Bahnen AG connect their ski areas together using chair lifts. This new fusion requires eight new chair lifts, a new tramway and investments totaling SFr 59 million. The ski areas of Melschsee-Frutt and Meiringen Hasliberg will also require the building of a tramway to compensate for extremely steep terrain separating the two ski zones. Ecosign believes that this connection can be completed in a 7 to 10-year period and that all the companies involved will profit from this arrangement.
