This autumn, the construction of a new detachable chairlift at the south facing area of Br\u00e9vent in Chamonix<\/a> will be completed to replace the old fixed-grip Parsa chairlift.<\/p>\n This new lift will make this whole area much more fluid for the beginner runs and for returning from Fl\u00e9g\u00e8re to Planpraz at the end of the day. In the same area, the two existing drag lifts (the TK Stade and the TK 2000) will be replaced by one single drag lift.<\/p>\n As well as boasting a cutting-edge ski area\u00a0in terms of accessibility, from this season Courchevel<\/a> will offer a dedicated handiski area with 12 specially-trained instructors.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Courchevel Village, 1650 and 1850 French\u00a0Ski Schools have joined forces<\/a> to create a\u00a0shared starting point in the Pralong quarter.\u00a0The site was chosen for its ease of road\u00a0access and terrain layout, as it is situated\u00a0in a \u201cZEN zone\u201d and served by two specially\u00a0adapted ski tows, as well as a 6-seater\u00a0detachable chair lift.<\/p>\n This winter Tignes is offering free use of a GoPro and has launched a competition for the best video clips of the season.\u00a0The idea is to create a 3 minute edit which will be judged in one of three following categories:<\/p>\n – most stylish The 15 finalists will see their videos screened in resort with a the chance to win holidays to the resort.<\/p>\n In the\u00a0P\u00e9clet area of Val Thorens<\/a>, the ‘Le Roc’ drag lift is making way for a detachable\u00a06-seater chairlift to the top of Les Trolles run.<\/p>\n The Boismint sector has also been updated with the addition of a\u00a0new detachable 6-seater chair lift. This will be faster than its predecessor, and will provide skiers with a new route back down.<\/p>\n Val Thorens<\/p><\/div>\n Ski Chalets in France<\/strong><\/p>\n For the best advice on choosing the right ski chalet in the French Alps, please contact one<\/a> of our dedicated sales team on 01822 617761.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/handiski-190x110.jpg<\/a> It’s now only a matter of weeks until the new ski season starts. \u00a0We’ve \u00a0been checking all the latest ski resort news… 1.
