About the Wyssen company

    We offer solutions in the sector of artificial avalanche release. Because public funding is getting tighter for construction measures such as avalanche barriers, protective tunnels and galleries, and on the other hand pressure is increasing to keep the transport routes open, artificial avalanche release offers interesting alternatives. On the one hand our range of modern systems are unrivalled in terms of reliability and effectiveness. On the other hand as native mountain people and alpinists, we are familiar with the alpine particularities and have a deep understanding of the problematic nature of avalanches. This allows us to offer you an optimal solution starting from the project planning phase to the delivery of installations with the proverbial Swiss Quality in terms of effectiveness, reliability and support.

    The Wyssen Cableways Ltd company and the wyssen avalanche control AG opened their doors to public on the 11th and 12th of Mai 2012 and offered visitors an insight view of the company. It was possible to make a guided tour through the production, assembling, and the new build warehouse. Finally the guest could recover at a barbecue with sausages and refreshing drinks.

    We want to thank all of our guests for their visit and for their interest in our  products! Thanks to your appearance we could make this happen.


    New: Avalanche radar

    Over the last decade artificial avalanche release has experienced a tremendous upsurge in alpine regions. Avalanche towers are nowadays mostly used in ski resorts or for protection of traffic infrastructure, but also in exceptional cases for protection of settlement. The actual avalanche release after a detonation is almost impossible to verify under bad weather conditions with a lack of visibility.

    Therefore we are pleased to announce the cooperation with the Austrian company HS High Frequency Technology, who has developed a special radar (www.avalancheradar.com) for avalanche detection. The avalancheradar will complement our product range for avalanche control work. [..]
