Skiresort world record no. 7
New world record set: 101 different ski lifts in one day
In the ski resorts of the Sälen region in Sweden, a new world record was set by Oliver Kern from Skiresort.info on 11.02.2025.

It's done: Oliver Kern is the new world record holder and has beaten all previous records. The current record of 80 ski lifts was clearly surpassed. The new world record was set by Oliver Kern during the normal operating hours of the ski lifts in the Sälen ski region in Sweden. In the ski areas of Stöten, Hundfjället (SkiStar), Tandådalen (SkiStar), Högfjället (SkiStar), Lindvallen (SkiStar) and Kläppen, 101 different ski lifts were used in just under 11 hours. Three ski lifts were skied twice and, as a bonus, 6 SunKid conveyor belts were used. Thanks to the perfect skis and ski boots from the latest Head collection, the world record was mastered very well.
The passionate skier and founder of the world's largest test portal for ski resorts Skiresort.info is always looking for new challenges. So the early morning skiing started at 7.30 am on Tuesday 11th February 2025 in the Stöten ski resort. In the first hour, the 9 open lifts were mastered without any problems. Then it was off by car to the Hundfjället ski area, a sub-area of SkiStar Sälen, just 20 kilometers away. The lifts opened at 9.00 a.m. and the challenge continued. In Hundfjället (SkiStar), 20 different ski lifts were used.
At 11.00 a.m., the two connecting lifts pulled Oliver Kern into the Tandådalen ski area (SkiStar) and another 22 ski lifts were added to the list. At around 1 p.m., Oliver Kern was pulled to the car park by the östra transport lift, where the car was already waiting and it was off to Högfjället (SkiStar), 5 kilometres away, within 6 minutes. 12 other lifts were used in Högfjellet. A three-seater chairlift and a t-bar lift took Oliver Kern to the Lindvallen (SkiStar) section of the ski area.
In Lindvallen (SkiStar), another 29 lifts were mastered in record time and unfortunately there was no stop at the world's only McDonald's ski-in, as time was running out. There was no time for a break during the 11-hour ski day and it was only possible to eat and drink in the lifts. At 5.30 p.m. Oliver Kern went to the Kläppen ski area, 19 kilometres away. Here Oliver Kern skied the remaining 9 ski lifts. The 10-passenger Gondol Sälen gondola lift from Doppelmayr took Oliver via a middle station to the summit, where the official world record certificate was handed over after 101 different ski lift rides.
Oliver Kern from Skiresort.info is therefore the new world record holder and has travelled on the most different ski lifts in one day.

Skiresort World record no. 7

World record attempt: 100 different ski lifts in one day
New world record planned on 11th February 2025 at the Sälen ski resorts in Sweden: Oliver Kern from Skiresort.info wants to set a new record for the most lift rides in one day.
Oliver Kern attracted attention with his first world records back in 2007. On 8th December 2007, he skied 52 different ski lifts in one day in the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental. In February 2008, this record was beaten with 60 different ski lifts. This left Oliver Kern with no choice and he had to go full throttle again on 27th January 2009 and skied 70 different ski lifts in one day. This world record would now stand in the books for 16 years, until 2025, when Oliver Kern had to beat another record of at least 81 ski lifts.
But the goal is over 100 lifts! Will he make it? On 11.02.25 it can succeed...
There are ski resorts not only in the Alps, but also in Scandinavia, where it is possible to set a world record. In the Sälen ski region, Skistar operates 104 ski lifts in the Lindvallen, Högfjellet, Tandådalen and Hundfjället ski areas. In addition to state-of-the-art 8-seater and 6-seater chairlifts, the ski area also offers many lifts for families and children.
On 11th February 2025, Oliver Kern is planning this record and wants to ski at least 81 different ski lifts in one day in Sweden and thus set his 7th world record. But 81 ski lifts are not enough for him and he wants to break the 100 mark.
A record-breaking 2024/25 season without exception
The passionate skier and extreme athlete will use the impressive lift facilities at SkiStar Sälen to achieve this extraordinary feat. By the end of the 2024/25 season, Oliver Kern will also have skied in 1000 different ski resorts in 35 countries on 6 continents. He will also set a record with over 8400 ski lifts and cable cars travelled. In the course of his career, he founded the world's largest test portal for ski resorts Skiresort.info in 1998, created over 500 test reports in 18 criteria and collected over 25,000 ski passes.
World record at a glance:
• Date of the record: 11th February 2025
• Location: Stöten, SkiStar Sälen and Kläppen, Sweden
• Number of ski lift rides: at least 81 – target 100
• Duration: from 7.30 am to approx. 7 pm
• Lifts used: chairlifts, t-bars and platter lifts
An outstanding endeavour
Oliver Kern will start his record attempt in Stöten with early morning skiing. Then it's off to Hundfjället, Tandådalen, Högfjället and Lindvallen. In hopefully ideal weather conditions, he will let the skis glow. If time permits, he will make a stop at the only ski-in McDonald's in Lindvallen. Thanks to meticulous planning and the comprehensive support of the SkiStar team, he will complete at least 81 different skilift rides and perhaps even break the 100 mark, setting a new benchmark in the skiing world. The best is saved for last. The penultimate ride on the Gustav Express 8-seater chairlift is planned for around 6 pm. The finale will take place in Kläppen on the first 10-seater gondola lift from Doppelmayr in Sweden. The new world record should therefore be achieved before 7 pm.
