Tignes has just unveiled the new cabins for its Grande Motte glacier cable car lift, which have been replaced as part of a €17m upgrade project on the 43 year old lift which climbs from 3034 metres to 3456 metres in five minutes.
The new cabins, which have a capacity of 100 people inside, also have the novelty of an 'open top' area outside which can carry another 20 people. Summer skiing ended early in early August this year in order to allow work crews access to the lift before the weather began to deteriorate at this high altitude.
Design in Switzerland by Garaventa AG, the new cable car will be open to skiers from the beginning of the 2018/19 winter season, but the roof terrace will be off limits until the summer. The 'Altitude Experience,' reportedly worth €17 million, will open to the public in May 2019 and will take passengers from the Tignes funicular station at 2100 meters to the Grande Motte glacier, before undertaking the experience of a lifetime atop the viewing platform on this remarkable new lift.
