Val d'Is\u00e8re is preparing to unveil one of its biggest innovations for winter 2024: the complete replacement of the Vallon de l'Iseran gondola lift. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, described by Christophe Lavaut, Director of Val d'Is\u00e8re Tourisme, as \"Pharaonic and ambitious<\/em>is designed to improve access to one of the most emblematic sectors of the ski area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just a few months, the old gondola lift, installed in 1982, will be dismantled and replaced by a modern, high-performance machine, ready to welcome skiers from 20 December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this winter, the new Vallon gondola will provide an optimised link to the high-altitude sectors, in particular the Pisaillas glacier, with fast, comfortable and safe access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared with the old gondola, the ascent time has been halved: while the previous gondola took 12 minutes to reach an altitude of 2,790 metres, the new version will do so in just 6 and a half minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more spacious cabins will now seat 10 people, compared with 6 previously, giving skiers a smoother ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faster access to the Pisaillas glacier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cabins will also offer panoramic views, so you can take full advantage of the Alpine scenery as you climb to the heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resort also chose to install the equipment along the existing axis, thus avoiding any disturbance to pristine natural areas. Thirty pylons were dismantled, freeing up a large part of the slope, allowing local flora and fauna to flourish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, the Vallon de l'Iseran sector has been accessible since 1972 thanks to the installation of the Col ski lift, marking the beginning of the exploitation of this high mountain area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1982, the installation of the Vallon's first gondola lift (TCD6) considerably improved access to the high altitude, making it easier for skiers to explore the Pisaillas glacier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Since then, the machine has never been replaced, making this new infrastructure necessary to meet the growing needs of visitors.<\/em>explains Christophe Lavaut. It will ease the flow of skiers in the Vallon de l'Iseran and provide easier, faster access to the Pisaillas glacier.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioning is scheduled for 20 December, a few weeks after the opening of the ski area<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
