Famed Courchevel Cable Car Re-opening

J2SkiNews posted 12-Jul



Courchevel's iconic La Saulire cable car is set to reopen this winter following a €10M upgrade.

The lift's cabins will have a new panoramic design and more comfortable layout for the 130 passengers each can carry.

The lift will ascend at a fast 11 metres per second, giving a capacity of 1,500 skiers per hour.

The new La Saulire cable car is expected to open on December 6, 2024, Courchevel's planned opening day.

Iain Martin from The Ski Podcast spoke with Landry Tirard, Head of Ski for the lift company S3V, in Episode 229, shortly before the opening of the new lift.
