Stop Press - Vanoise Express Closure

December 21, 2007 – The Vanoise Express cable car that links the Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne ski areas will unfortunately not be in service this winter (07/08).

This decision follows a consultation between the operator and region's safety authorities, who today requested the suspension of the operation of this particular lift.

Anomalies in the cables of the two lines were detected and a more advanced diagnosis must be carried out, but repairs cannot be undertaken before the end of the season. Both La Plagne (225km of slopes) and Les Arcs (200km of slopes) are massive high altitude ski areas in their own rights and therefore this should have a relatively low impact on skiing potential.
