The legendary platter lift with suspended supports was designed by Denis Crissels. The lift was built with components from Doppelmayr. Originally, the lift operated with T-bars and summer skiing was also planned. After the glacier receded, the ski lift now operates only in winter and the T-bars have been replaced with platters.
