Varied slopes and excellent snow conditions midst of unspoiled nature - the ski resort of Bruson, Verbier is a special place for hiking, biking and skiing. Hospitality and comfort are some of the most important values for the ski area Verbier 4Vallées, both for locals and for guests from all over the world.
The previous lift of La Pasay was a fixed-grip chairlift from the 90s. The installation is now completely renewed since this summer and replaced by the new detachable 6-seater chairlift from Bartholet.
The new comfortable 6-seater chairlift with protective hoods transports a total of up to 2,000 people per hour at 6 meters per second. The travel time is thus reduced from 11 to less than 5 minutes compared to the previous chairlift.
From December, just in time for the winter season, the construction work will be completed and a comfortable ride in a snow-covered picturesque mountain landscape is guaranteed.
