If in Alagna last ski season opened with the inauguration of the new Cimalegna chairlift, for the winter 2018/2019 the news are not far behind!
Eleven are the cabins added to the Alagna-Pianalunga cableway, an operation that will significantly speed up access to the slopes and the entire Monterosa Ski area, increasing the lift’s capacity by about 30%.
The ski racks will be completely replaced to allow you to easily load even the widest skis used by our freeriders.
At Passo dei Salati is the entire upper station of the Funifor lift to be renovated, and also the bar-restaurant housed inside.
In addition to the work inside, a large wooden terrace of 150 square meters is now being completed, with a unique view of the south face of Monte Rosa and the glacier.
At Alpe di Mera, the revision of the Scopello-Mera chairlift, a recently completed operation, will ensure the continuation of the technical life of the lift, and will allow the station to remain open (snow permitting) from 7th of December 2018 to 7th of April 2019 The chairs, with the addition of padding and new upholstery, have been made more comfortable for skiers; the driving speed will be increased by about 15%, positively affecting the travel time of the section. To further improve transport, especially for children, will also contribute to the installation on the same Scopello-Mera plant, of new anti-fall systems, which will significantly increase the level of safety of passengers. Finally, the programmed snowmaking system will be enhanced with the purchase of ten cannons and with the increase in pumping capacity of the station.
