SKI AREA DEVELOPMENT

The ski area is reinventing itself for the pleasure of all

THE GLACIERS GONDOLA - OPENING DECEMBER 2023

The Glaciers' gondola is the first stage of an ambitious development project between Plagne Bellecôte and the Glacier to be completed by 2025. Our aim is to improve access to skiing at an altitude of 3000 metres!

• FIRST STAGE : installing the 10-seater Glaciers' gondola.

Starting from the Roche de Mio, the new gondola will follow a different line from its predecessor. It will go via the Col de la Chiaupe (middle station) and carry on climbing all the way up to an altitude of 3000 metres offering a panoramic view over the Vanoise glaciers. The project will also include improvements and facilities which will blend into the surroundings and enable visitors to enjoy an experience at an altitude of 3000 metres in both winter and summer.

Work began in the summer of 2021, and will continue in the 2022 summer with a view to opening in December 2023.

The Glacier gondola will be closed for the summer 2022 but will open again for the winter 2022/2023

THE LOVATIÈRE CHAIRLIFT - OPENING DECEMBRE 2021

The ski area is investing to improve its skiing products.

All skiers starting in Plagne Centre, coming down from Plagne Aime 2000 or arriving from Plagne Montalbert will appreciate direct, comfortable and rapid transport from the snow front all the way to the top of the Verdons on this new 6-seater declutchable chairlift.

This new facility will bring plenty of benefits :
• an additional departure point from Plagne Centre, offering an alternative to the Becoin chairlift, Funiplagne, Grande Rochette and the Bergerie chairlift,
• a quick and easy link to the Champagny-en-Vanoise sector on the southern slopes, which provides access to Roche de Mio,
• a great skiing sector: the Verdons sector can be reached quickly and easily. It has excellent blue (Verdons, Pollux, Marie-CChantal), red (Banzaï) and black (Frisbee) pistes.

Look ahead and watch the video of the project
