Serre Chevalier Adds Six Seater chair

Upgrades at Serre Chevalier will continue this season with a new six-seater chairlift to improve the ski experience in the Villeneuve and Monêtier sectors.

The new lift is the latest of several added following the ski area's take over by the Compagnie des Alpes which operates many of France's largest ski areas.

The company is also spending on increased snowmaking facilities in the Chantemerle sector which should take the resort's tally past 500 snow guns mark and possibly past the third-of-all-250km-of-terrain covered mark (last season it was on 31%).

Someone must have overheard me as we trundled slowly up the Frejus lift in March, suggesting that what was needed was a fast lift from base up to the top of the Monetier link. From what I can make out, this is exactly what has been installed, and will make for much less traffic going over from Villeneuve to Monetier on the slow and painful 3 man Balme chair.

I may have to go back to SC to see this in operation......
