CHAMONIX MONT-BLANC, France

Descriptif

When it comes to linking a city in the mountain to one of its high altitude ski areas, when the nearly-vertical slope of the cable and the heavy use of the site requires a unique lift, the reliability and high welcoming capacity of the gondola lift Multix, can double the capacity of the initial installation. When the experience and know-how are the wages of succes for such an exceptional achievement, La Compagnie du Mont Blanc chose the POMA Multix solution.

Composants

An "urban" service in the mountains

Overlooking the town of Chamonix, the Cable car has a real "urban" function linking the city to the Brévent skiing area.

Largest cable in the world

A single cable for an exceptional gondola lift ... With a diameter of 58 mm, it is the largest cable hauler in the world!

Bi-motor

Double motor: suspended + below ground machinery. Redundancy allows an ideal service continuity: if a problem occurs on one drive, the lift can run on the other motor at a reduced capacity.

Double safety line

This configuration provides a redundancy which ensures a very high rate of lift availability  .
In the case of an Incident on a safety line, the other line ensures the continued safe operation. The search for the break down occurs therefore behind the scenes.

Semi-underground Garage

The ideal solution for the optimization of the available surface area, and allows a wide arrival area for the skiers. The garage is made of metal beams with concrete cover slabs.
