FRANCE – LUCHON SUPERGAGNERES – 2023

CRÉMAILLÈRE EXPRESS

The spa town of Luchon, in the heart of the Pyrenees, has a new gondola lift linking it to its ski resort at an altitude of 1,800 meters. The old gondola lift had already been in operation for 30 years, and the new Luchon Crémaillère Express gondola brings with it the benefits of a new generation of cable cars, symbolizing a modern, sustainable means of transport.

tourism in the Pyrenees

All year round, almost 2,000 people an hour now have easy access to the various activities of the Superbagnères ski resort and plateau, thanks to the latest-generation gondolas that can accommodate up to 10 people. The gondola covers 1,150 meters in eight minutes at an average gradient of 49%. Like the neighboring town of Peyragudes, where the Skyvall cable car has been a great success since its opening in 2019, the new Luchon Crémaillère Express gondola is part of a plan to revitalize spa towns in the Pyrenees.
