The new Alagna 3030 lift officially opened yesterday with the ribbon cut by the Mayor of Piedmont, Sergio Chiamparino.
The new four-man detachable chairlift links Cimalegna (2650m) to the Passo dei Salati (3030m). It is 1800m long, has 80 chairs and a maximum carrying capacity of 1600 skiers per hour.
The new lift will improve the connection from Alagna to Passo dei Salati and improve the access to the huge Monterosa Ski area.
The development is the result of a meticulous plan by the Monterosa 2000 lift company, working closely with the towns of Alagna and Riva Valdobbia, to ensure a better service for skiers and snowboarders, without compromising the impact on the environment.
Next on the list for Alagna and Monterosa 2000 is a new chairlift to connect Grande Halte with the Bocchetta delle Pisse.
The first day of opening for the public is scheduled for Saturday 23 December 2017.
The municipalities of Alagna and Riva Valdobbia and the Region have supported and encouraged the construction, with the aim of improving the skiing offer and the entire tourism system of the Alagnese side.
