Future Plans for Les Carroz ski area

Objective Christmas 2009: Replacement of the Molliets chairlift
Replacement of the Molliets chairlift* by a new “high speed” detachable 6-seater chairlift, which will be capable of carrying up to 3000 people per hour.
* Gateway to the Les Carroz – Grand Massif ski area, 5km from the centre of Les Carroz, towards Flaine. 

 

THIS PART IS DUE TO BE COMPLETE FOR XMAS 2009

Objective Christmas 2009: Creation of a designated beginners’ area
At the top of the Kédeuse telecabine, beside the Crêtes draglift, a designated beginners’ area will be created to enhance learning conditions and improve safety.

Objective Christmas 2010: Replacement of the Airon and Gentiane chairlifts
Replacement of the Airon and Gentiane chairlifts by a single new “high speed” detachable 6-seater chairlift, which will be capable of carrying up to 3000 people per hour.

From 2007 to 2012: Development of the snow-making network
30 new snow cannons will augment the 60 already in operation in the Les Carroz ski area.   They will primarily be used on the Combe blue piste, ensuring an alternative route for returning to the village on skis, throughout the season, from the Gron sector.

Objective 2011: Enlargement of the Airon Lake
The Airon Lake, a reservoir used for snow-making and drinking water, as well as a tourist attraction in the summer, will be enlarged.  The plan is to double its current capacity to a total volume of 160,000 m3 to boost the water flow necessary for the snow cannons.
