In the mountains

The new six seater Aiguille Percée chair lift is now open replacing the old chair and whisking you up the mountain in just under 3 minutes. This state-of-the-art lift travels at 6 metres per second and has an hourly capacity of 2800 passengers. This is a real game changer opening up the Aiguille Percée ski area and completing the transformation of the ski lift network in Le Lac and Brévières following the opening of the Marais chair lift last season.
