The last day of the Courchevel season today so we’re sharing news of what’s happening for next Winter…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The La Tania gondola is being upgraded this Summer with brand new cabins and the associated technical infrastructure to cope with wider cabins etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally this was planned over two Summers but we understand the work will now be completed in one go – so no La Tania gondola this Summer but everything done for Winter 26\/27.

The good news is that the For\u00eat and Chenus lifts will be running this Summer and the Bouc Blanc restaurant is open too. We’re also told that these lifts will be free for pedestrians. Hopefully we’ll see the restoration of the Chenus Mountain Biking downhill tracks and getting bikes on the brand new Chenus gondola lift will be a breeze with the new barriers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Praz & Verdons gondolas plus the Saulire cable car are the other lifts open this Summer in the Courchevel Valley as usual. Remember Winter season passes are valid the following Summer and all descents are free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new gondola cabins are likely to be similar to the new Mont Vallon ones (as this used to have identical cabins as La Tania) below:<\/p>\n\n\n

Interestingly these are 8 seater but licenced for 10 passengers \/ 800kg (plenty of room for 2 standing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the same weight as the completely new Chenus gondola (although this has 10 seats) as seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n

However, the new Rhodos gondola cabins (which were similar to La Tania) are licenced for 11 passengers \/ 880kg) so maybe we get those as seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n

Whichever cabins we get, the loading area and process will be much more efficient with 35 years of technology improvements and although current cabins can hold (technically not practically) 12 passengers in reality the new lift will increase capacity \/ throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anyone is driving past the Poma Factory take a look at what is in the storage compound and send us a pic! We had the first pics of Chenus cabins thank to Phil at Ski Higher<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just hope we get the new style turnstiles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to Nick & Joey, Tim, Claire E and Claire B for gathering all the info here (and of course it is all subject to change as always with these projects). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
