Striking landmark through light track
The famous Schatzalp funicular from the days of yore has always belonged to the hotel and was completely renovated in 2006. Since spring 2008, it has emerged in new and brilliant radiance through a spectacular lighting scenario of far-reaching effect. 700 metres of the railway line have been fitted with colour-changing LED light tubes by Ledon. Visible for miles around at night, the light track snakes up the mountainside, impressive not only on account of its efficient operation but also as a fascinating eye-catcher in the mountains above Davos.

As an LED application specialist, Ledos has created a flexible Plug&Play solution for this completely autonomous project. Besides the lighting solution, the Zumtobel Group brand also provided the structured wiring, power supply, infrastructure and control system software. The inclined lift and picturesque branch line to the Schatzalp Hotel has been fitted with LED light tubes, harmonising remarkably with the architectural design of lines and edges. Almost 280 LED tubes each 2.6 metres long have been assembled with a total of 27,000 pixiLEDs and can be individually controlled in sections of around 30 cm. Based on various control sequences, the funicular again and again conjures up fascinating and intriguing impressions in the variation of light. Whatever the occasion, the colour effects can be adjusted to suit the most diverse requirements and ideas of corporate design. In this way, the LED lighting scenario meets not only functional but also the highest aesthetic standards in illuminating the funicular.
