The new lift will have an uplift capacity of more than 3000 skiers and snowboarders per hour.<\/p>\n<p>A dedicated beginner\u2019s area has been added at the Lognan mid-station of Lognan at 1900m. This new area includes two drag\u2013lifts and new snow cannons. This is a great addition for mixed ability groups and families, allowing them to ski at the iconic Grands Montets.<\/p>\n<p>As some visitors to our site will know, there was a fire at the mid-station in September, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaletline.co.uk\/chamonix\">Chamonix<\/a> advises that the new lifts were all fully installed before the fire and plan to open as planned in December.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1124\" height=\"753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets-190x127.jpg 190w, https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets-60x40.jpg 60w, https:\/\/chaletline.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cham_grandmontets-400x268.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Luxury Spa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chamonix\u2019s aquacentre has some great swimming pools, but the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcterme.com\/en\/chamonix-mont-blanc\/qc-terme-chamonix\" class=\"broken_link\">QC Terme Spa<\/a> ensures the resort can now offer a top-class thermal spa and wellness facility.<\/p>\n<p>This the ninth QC Spa and their first outside Italy.
