New Grangettes 10 Seater Gondola on display
An example of the new Grangettes gondola cabin that will be used on the replacement gondola from Courchevel Village 1550 to 1850.
The gondola cabin is a new model from the manufacturer POMA called “EVO”.
It is a 10 seater cabin with an interior height of 2.10 m that allows you to stand up and has indoor and outdoor lighting for nighttime operation.
The departure station will allow you to board directly into the cabins without going through a ramp or a staircase (same as Ariondaz).
Work will begin on April 23 for commissioning in early December 2018.
Major integration work is expected at the level of the Croisette with a small deviation of the road in order to be able to build the top station.
New pylons will be dropped in by a Super Cougar helicopter during September.
A mid-station to receive passengers from a new gondola down towards Aquamotion is also planned.
An example of the new cabin is on display near the Verdons base station.
