The Lift System in Verbier
The Verbier ski area comprises 4 main sectors, linked by a variety of different lifts and pistes. The lifts marked on the piste map using straight black lines are of four types; button tow/drag, chair, telecabine and telepherique. They have the corresponding abbreviations:
- TK - téléski (draglift)
- TS - télésiège (chairlift)
- TC - télécabine (gondola)
- TPH - téléphérique (cable car)
For télécabine think bubble car and for téléphérique think cable car. Anything prefixed/suffixed with “Express” means a 6 person modern fast chair lift.
The highest and biggest lift in the Verbier lift system is the Mont Fort Jumbo; a 150 person cable car that climbs up to the glacier at 3300m. One of Switzerland's biggest lifts, the Jumbo operates during both winter and summer seasons.
