The leading ski area of Alpe d'Huez in the Isère region of the southern French Alps will see several new lifts this winter.
The region is now known as the Grand Domaine ski region to encompass the wider area and neighbouring linked ski villages like Vaujany.
The new Huez Express gondola will replace the original Televillage lift from the village of Huez, a small, sleepy, charming, typical mountain village – with narrow streets and typically alpine architecture. This will speed up access and opens on 17 December 2022.
In neighbouring Auris the old Les Sures chairlift will be replaced with a new, high-performance, fast telemix lift combining the advantages of a chairlift — skiers keep their equipment on and can board faster — and those of a gondola.
