New Lifts For Chamonix
Published : 01-Jul-2016 07:44
Chamonix has announced a new high-speed detachable six-seater chairlift and an improved draglift connection are under construction in the resort's Brévent ski area and will be ready to operate next season.
The Leitner built chairlift will carry just under 3000 skiers per hour on the route, ascending just over a kilometres in just under four minutes.
The new lifts will replace the slow old non-detachable quad chairlift and two existing drag lifts. The lift company's aim is to make skier flow much more fluid through the area, as well as improving uplift for novice skiers and boarders. In addition it should improve the connection from Flégère to Planpraz.
