Mountain railways and lift facilities – efficiency, safety, and transparency in daily operations
Mountain railways and ski lifts are the heart of every ski resort and also key infrastructure elements for summer and winter tourism. They transport thousands of guests every day and generate enormous cash flows through ticket sales. At the same time, they must meet the highest safety requirements and function smoothly. A well-designed safety concept not only supports ongoing operations, but also builds guest confidence.
Access control and/or mechanical locking system
Elevator systems consist of various operational areas: ticket offices, control rooms, workshops, warehouses, and staff rooms. Access control systems ensure that only authorized personnel enter sensitive areas. Seasonal workers can be granted temporary access, while external service technicians are given limited rights that automatically expire once their work is complete.
Mechanical locking systems are a useful addition—especially for less critical rooms or small outdoor facilities. Together, they create a cost-effective and flexible solution that can be adapted to any size of operation.
Video surveillance – real-time overview
Video surveillance is indispensable for mountain railways. Cameras in ticket areas, at valley and mountain stations, or in boarding areas increase safety and transparency. They help to immediately detect irregularities and reliably document incidents.
During peak times in particular, recordings can also be used to organize visitor flows: operators can immediately see where queues are forming and can deploy staff flexibly.
Safes and deposit safes – secure cash management
Daily takings from ski pass sales and catering quickly add up to large sums. Safes and deposit safes are therefore an indispensable part of the security infrastructure. Employees can deposit cash immediately without having direct access to the safe – effective protection against theft.
Certified safes offer additional insurance protection and are designed for a long service life. For operators, this means transparent processes, less risk, and increased security.
Advertising screens – increasing information and experiential value
Digital screens have long been standard in mountain railways. They provide guests with information about travel times, operating status, weather, and safety instructions. At the same time, they can be used for advertising—for example, for restaurant offers or partner companies.
Our conclusion – reliable protection for lift systems
With access controls, modern video surveillance, secure safes, and digital advertising screens, mountain railways create a safe and transparent environment for employees and guests. Operators benefit from regulated processes, reduced risks, and additional marketing opportunities.
