Isola 2000 in the southern French Alps is opening a new six-seat chairlift this winter, thanks to investment from the local Alpes-Maritimes Council.

The new lift, named "La Valette," is 1,905m long and rises 500 vertical metres.

The lift improves people management on the slopes, reducing bottle necks, and providing a more comfortable uplift.

The 'skier flow' on the route increases to 3,200 passengers per hour thanks to the carrying capacity of the chairlift, which has a top speed of six metres per second.
