Chairlift is a kind of a cable car, which is meant to transport tourists with the use of chairs. Such a lift allows to transport not only skiers, but also hikers, thanks to which the Alpine slopes may be crowded not only in winter, but all year round. Apart from the fact that it is possible to ride onto a slope, the construction of a lift makes it possible to ride down safely too. Alpine centers are full of chair lifts, which after all is a standard in developed recreational centers.
