PLANCHAMP

In the heart of the village, Domaine Skiable Valmorel (DSV), a subsidiary of the Sofival group, is installing a brand new gondola lift for its main resort departure point, replacing a 4-seater chairlift dating from 1997. The Planchamp gondola lift is equipped with 75 latest-generation Evo 10-seater X-Line cabins, allowing a capacity of 3,600 passengers per hour in absolute comfort during the 4.5-minute journey, with superb views of the Savoyard valley.

For this major new installation, the entire line has been redesigned to meet all safety and comfort requirements: a single section instead of the previous two, an extended station and wide tracks for easy boarding by skiers, optimal travel time with a nominal speed of 7m/s (one of the fastest in France!), the possibility of operating all year round in winds of up to 25m/s, among a range of tailor-made technical and aesthetic options, for the main lift leaving from the village, which connects to the rest of the ski area via the Combe de Beaudin.
