The distance to Raykovski Livadi site, where the middle station is situated will be taken for less than 10 minutes. The lift will than proceed to Snejanka peak, where the tourists will be able to directly downhill along the white slopes. Its length will be around 2, 4 km, and the capacity of the equipment will be around 1000 people per hour. The technical research is already completed.
