Val Thorens have announce an additional 3 lifts opening tomorrow and the Grand Fond area is opening – you should be able to see the new Cime red piste from over there.
Well done to the teams involved in opening as much of the mountain up as fast as possible – we’ll have a Video Snow Report no doubt!
The 3 additional lifts are:
Grand Fond Funitel
Moutiere Chair
Lac Blanc Chair
These lifts were announced earlier in the week:
– Funitel Peclet
– Moraine Gondola
– Portette Chair
– Cascades Chair
– Deux Lacs Chair
– Musaraigne & Campagnols Magic Carpets / Travelators
– Castor & Pollux Magic Carpets / Travelators
– Cairn Gondola (to come from P4)
Val Thorens has confirmed that it will be opening for it’s La Grand Première Weekend on Saturday with an expected 30% of the ski area opening.
With temperatures falling this week snow cannons were at last able to operate and fill in pistes down to village level at 2300m. Ten piste bashers are currently working on getting these runs ready for the weekend.
The Brand Village area will be open for your chance to test the new models of skis, snowboards etc from a huge host of manufacturers for free and benefit from their professional advice & guidance….
Meanwhile Orelle has confirmed that it won’t open this weekend as originally scheduled (and obviously no link across from Val Thorens will be available too).
