The area is constantly reinventing itself for the enjoyment of all

The New Roche de Mio Gondola

Stage 1: Glacier Gondola

The first stage of this project was completed with the construction of the Glaciers gondola lift, connecting Roche de Mio to Live 3000 (which went into service in December 2023). This new, modern installation provides quicker and more comfortable access to the high-altitude areas, while offering an exceptional panoramic experience. It is part of La Plagne’s extensive ski area modernisation programme, aimed at improving skier mobility.

Discover Live 3000 in summer

 

On this gondola lift, you’ll find Aérolive – a one-of-a-kind experience. Aboard a windowless cabin, you’ll be fully immersed in the breathtaking environment of the Northern Alps. Enjoy a 360° panoramic view of iconic peaks such as Mont Blanc and La Grande Casse, all while breathing in the fresh mountain air.

The image shows the mid-station of the Glaciers Gondola in a mountainous landscape during summer or autumn. The modern building, dark-coloured with red elements, sits on dry, earthy ground with no trace of snow. In the background, the mountain slopes are covered with yellowing grass and rocks, forming a gently rolling terrain under soft light. The overall scene conveys a peaceful and somewhat arid atmosphere, typical of alpine resorts outside the winter season.

Stage 2: New Roche de Mio Gondola

 

Open since December 2025

The summer of 2025 marked the continuation of the second phase of our project: the construction of the new Roche de Mio gondola lift. The route now connects Plagne Bellecôte to Roche de Mio, via the Col de Forcle. This new installation enhance accessibility across the ski area and came into service in December 2025.

The Belle Plagne gondola lift is still in service

Good news! The Belle Plagne gondola lift will continue to transport skiers and pedestrians between Bellecôte and Belle Plagne.

Advantages for Winter:

Access to the Roche de Mio is new greatly improved. You’ll be able to reach the summit directly from:

  • Plagne Bellecôte via the gondola lift

  • Champagny via the Carella chairlift

  • The summit of Grande Rochette via the Roche de Mio gondola, boarding at the mid-station at the Col de Forcle

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project and get ready for an unforgettable mountain experience!

Advantages for Summer:

In summer, the new lift line makes the mountains more accessible to everyone: families with pushchairs, mountain bikers, and visitors accompanied by their favourite dog.

The intermediate station at Col de Forcle becomes a true stopping point, ideal for taking a break and enjoying the panoramic views, or for setting off on a walk. New routes are now accessible, particularly between Grande Rochette and Col de Forcle, offering excellent hiking opportunities.

 

Development of Col de Forcle

By summer 2027, Col de Forcle will be developed into a high-altitude welcome and discovery area, designed to enhance the visitor experience.

Stay tuned to follow the progress of this project and get ready to enjoy an unforgettable experience!

L'image est abstraite et minimaliste, composée de formes géométriques en noir et gris. Une grande bande noire occupe la partie inférieure, tandis qu'une zone grise plus claire recouvre le haut. Les deux sections sont séparées par une ligne diagonale qui traverse l'image. Des reflets subtils ajoutent une légère variation dans les tons, créant une impression de profondeur ou de surface brillante.
