Elevator lane
A lift swath is a deforested strip of ground (a swath ), on which a ski lift or a cable car can be operated. The elevator lane occurs mainly in higher forests like in the Alps . The elevator lane serves the operational safety of the cable car system. The cable car operator is therefore obliged to keep the lift aisle sufficiently wide and to remove bothersome and unsafe trees and bushes at an early stage ( tree control ). The landowners are obliged to keep it open and to tolerate all related work (as a rule, this is a legal easement , sometimes also a contract-based tolerance obligation).
When renaturating ski areas, the lift aisles and the downhill aisles must be taken into account and reforested if necessary.
