La Plagne Gondola To Complete New Access to Highest Terrain Next Winter
La Plagne Gondola To Complete New Access to Highest Terrain Next Winter
Published : 30-Apr-2025 01:16
La Plagne's project to modernise and improve access to its high-altitude glacial terrain is due to be completed ahead of next winter with the opening of the new Roche de Mio gondola.
The first stage of this project was completed with the construction of the Glaciers gondola lift, connecting Roche de Mio to Live 3000 (the new name the resort has given its high altitude terrain) which went into service in December 2023).
Throughout summer 2025, La Plagne lift compoany's in-house team will work on the second phase of the project: the construction of the new Roche de Mio gondola lift, with a capacity of over 3,100 people per hour, which will connect Plagne Bellecôte to Roche de Mio, via the Col de Forcle.
"This new installation will enhance accessibility across the ski area and is scheduled to open in December 2025," a La Plagne spokesperson said.
The new gondola means that next winter access to Roche de Mio will be greatly improved with direct access to the summit directly from Plagne Bellecôte via the new gondola lift and from Champagny via the Carella chairlift. The lift will also provide access to the summit of Grande Rochette, boarding at the mid-station at Col de Forcle.
To ensure a smooth transition, the old gondola connecting Plagne Bellecote to Belle Plagne will not be operational this 2025 summer with a replacement bus service for summer guests available between Plagne Bellecote and Belle Plagne, allowing Bellcote guests to take the gondola from Belle Plagne to the Roche de Mio.
