Vallon gondola lift: redevelopment and less impact on the environment

In the heart of Le Fornet, at the gateway to the Vanoise National Park, the Vallon de l’Iseran gondola lift, inaugurated last winter, offers a modernized and environmentally friendly experience. Designed to combine performance and sustainability, it now connects the wild Fornet area in the best possible conditions.

Replacement work on the gondola lift

Skier’s comfort and speed first and foremost

The Vallon gondola now offers 10 seats, compared to 6 previously.
It provides users with a
more comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable experience on their way to the Pisaillas Glacier.

A limited impact on the natural environment

Preserving the balance of local flora and wildlife was at the heart of the project.
The Vallon gondola was therefore built along the existing alignment, minimizing its impact on the natural environment.

To restore the slope, 32 pylons from the former gondola and two ski lifts were dismantled.
We also made sure to
replant all protected flower species found within the project area.

Reach very high altitudes in no time

In brand-new cabins, you can now reach 2,790 meters of altitude in just 6 minutes and 30 seconds!
No more long waits to reach the highest point of the ski area, right from the very start of the season.
