An example of the new Grangettes gondola cabin that will be used on the replacement gondola from Courchevel Village 1550 to 1850.
The gondola cabin is a new model from the manufacturer POMA called “EVO”. It is a 10 seater cabin with an interior height of 2.10 m that allows you to stand up and has indoor and outdoor lighting for nighttime operation. The departure station will allow you to board directly into the cabins without going through a ramp or a staircase (same as Ariondaz).
Work will begin on April 23 for commissioning in early December 2018.
Major integration work is expected at the level of the Croisette with a small deviation of the road in order to be able to build the top station. New pylons will be dropped in by a Super Cougar helicopter during September. A mid-station to receive passengers from a new gondola down towards Aquamotion is also planned. An example of the new cabin is on display near the Verdons base station.
