Ski and Bike Arena Silbersattel Enlargement and Modernization Breakdown
Expansion underway at Silver Saddle Ski and Bike Arena - Expansion of the Silver Saddle multi-sport facility, catering to skiing and cycling enthusiasts.
Get ready for an upgrade at the Ski and Bike Arena Silbersattel in Steinach, Thuringia! The mayor, Udo Bätz, announced a whopping 9.3 million euros renovation project aimed at modernizing the facility and expanding its offerings.
Here's a closer look at the components that make up this extensive renovation:
Chairlift Replacement
The old two-person gondolas will be replaced with a cutting-edge six-person chairlift, providing a more comfortable and efficient ride for skiers. The price tag for this change falls within the €1-5 million range, depending on the specific technology used.
Mountain Bike Facilities
The new facility will promote biking as well as skiing by integrating a mountaintop bike rack. Additionally, future development plans may include additional bike trials, with costs ranging from €50,000 to €200,000 per kilometer.
Snowmaking System Improvements
A cold, snowy winter is crucial for the success of a ski resort. To ensure a consistent snow supply, new snow cannons and a cooling tower for water may be acquired for approximately €200,000 to €1 million or more.
General Infrastructure and Miscellaneous Costs
Upgrades to pathways, landscaping, parking facilities, and access roads can add significant costs, ranging from €50,000 to €200,000. Additional amenities such as restrooms, eateries, or retail spaces can add €100,000 to €500,000 or more to the project's total cost.
Total Estimated Costs
With the above components in mind, the total cost of expansion and restructuring could range:
- Low Estimate: €2 million to €5 million (by focusing on upgrading existing infrastructure and adding minimal new features).
- High Estimate: €10 million to €20 million or more (with significant new construction and comprehensive upgrades).
A more accurate cost assessment would require a detailed feasibility study and consultation with industry experts.
This renovation project is expected to be completed by October, turning the Silbersattel Ski Arena into an even more enticing destination for skiers and bike enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting transformation!
