Ski lifts are marked on the Morzine piste map using straight black lines. There are 4 different types (button tow/drag, chair, telecabine, telepherique) and they have the corresponding abbreviations:

  • TK = téléski (drag lift, also called a button or tow lift)
  • TS = télésiège (chair lift)
  • TC = télécabine (gondola, also called a bubble)
  • TPH = téléphérique (cable car)
