Les 2 Alpes has announced that\nit will invest more than \u20ac500 million over the next four years in improving the\nresort\u2019s infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four new ski\nlifts <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new plans include four\nnew ski lifts as well as a reconfiguration of pistes to allow the resort to control\nthe flow of skiers.
\n
\n1. The Pierre Grosse is a new 8-seater gondola, constructed\nby the Swiss manufacturer Bartholet. The new lift will carry 2400 skiers and\nsnowboarders per hour over 954m of vertical ascent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will link La F\u00e9e (2221m) to the Les 2 Alpes<\/a> glacier at 3175m providing new access to this high-altitude ski area. It will also mean more skiers will end up visiting this charming, but less visited areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Les Cr\u00eates sector\nwill see a new 8-seater detachable chairlift installed at 2100m to replace the\ncurrent four-seater chairlift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new lift will be faster and will improve passenger flow in the same way that the 8-seater detachable chairlift installed in La Toura in 2018 did, lifting capacity to 3200 people an hour.

3. A new 4-seater detachable chairlift on Le Thuit sector will replace the old three-seater chair and provide a faster connection to the high-altitude skiing in Les Cr\u00eates.

4. The fourth new lift will see the Super Venosc fixed chairlift (on the Vall\u00e9e Blanche sector) relocated so that it runs over a shorter and faster route.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With skiing available on their glacier, Les 2 Alpes can offer reliable snow and will open next month from 26 October to 02 November, then again for the winter from 30 November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
