A major lift upgrade in the 4 Vall\u00e9es ski area in Switzerland will make getting around Nendaz quicker this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss lift manufacturer Bartholet is constructing a new high-speed six-seater chairlift linking Les Chottes, La Meina and Greppon Blanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new lift is scheduled to open in December 2026 and will replace three ageing installations: the Chottes and La Meina drag lifts and the existing two-seater Greppon Blanc chairlift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It represents a significant modernisation of this part of the \u20184 Vall\u00e9es\u2019 ski area<\/a>, one of Switzerland’s largest interconnected ski domains, that also includes Verbier<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More comfort and uplift capacity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new detachable chairlift will feature six-seater chairs with protective bubbles \u2013 which all skiers love on a snowy day. It will be substantial improvement in comfort over the current drag lifts and old two-seater chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new lift will have an uplift capacity of 2600 skiers per hour, reducing queues and making the connection through the area much more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new mid-station for beginners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A mid-station is being installed at the base location of the current Greppon Blanc chairlift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means skiers will be able to get off part-way up, offering less experienced skiers access to the easier pistes in the lower section without having to ride all the way to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction work on the new lift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scheduled to open in December 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Construction began in September 2025 and the new lift is scheduled to open in December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is part of a CHF116 million investment in the lift system by the Nendaz-Veysonnaz lift company. The next significant development is expected to be the replacement of the Nendaz\u2013Tracouet gondola with a new ten-passenger lift and is expected to open in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
