WIMBACHEXPRESS: A COLOURFUL SPECTACLE AT 2,400 M
ewo’s prowess in supplying illuminations for ski areas is on show again, with this stunning new lighting design by Klaus Hochschwarzer, for another LEITNER Ropeways illumination for the Schultz Group.
Situated in the Zillertal valley of Tyrol, Austria, the Wimbachexpress high-speed ropeway project follows Mr Hochschwarzer’s remarkable work on Spieljochbahn, which was a striking ewo project completed in 2017. A popular location for skiers the world over, Zillertal valley’s Wimbachexpress gondola was illuminated with ewo R–System RGB LED floodlights all the way up to the Hochzillertal Albergo restaurant, from December 2018.
With an adaptation of the ewo R–System floodlights – the R–System’s panels are specially fitted with RGB LEDs, configured to shower the surrounding area with a variety of striking colour combinations. The result, as evidenced by the stunning images now available from Wimbach, is a surreal and beautiful night skiing experience with these ropeway illuminations providing an exciting ascent for all Wimbachexpress visitors.
