This winter, the experience should become even more fluid thanks to a new lift built on the Italian side, as part of the partnership between the Montgen\u00e8vre Autonomous Authority for Cableways and Sestri\u00e8res S.p.a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gimont-Colletto Verde chairlift will be a four-seater detachable device. Its departure is scheduled at 2,060 meters and its arrival at 2,560 meters, which is almost 500 meters of elevation gain. The announced flow reaches 1,600 people per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying at high altitude to cross the border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main change concerns the direction of traffic on this sector of the Milky Way.

This new lift strengthens a cross-border identity that has been established over several decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is being managed by the Italian administration.
