They have removed the two steep drags next to them too, I was there in the summer when they were starting to remove the old lifts

Speaking to a pisteur last week who mentioned that for next winter(2017/2018) they will be replacing the Clos Giraud lift and the slow slow lift at the bottom of the Fare black into Vaujany.

Which one is the Clos Giraud lift ?
Slightly mixed feelings about the slow lift up from the bottom of the Fare. The Fare is often very quiet - and I suspect one of the reasons is that getting up from the bottom to Vaujany is a bit of a pain. I wonder whether a new lift will change that ?

@jonty, clos giraud is the tectonically slow ancient lift that goes from top of Montfrais back up to Alpette where the cable car from Vaujany joins with the Alpette lift from Oz. Feels quicker to ski down to Montfrais and then get the dogleg lift to Vaujany cable car back up than take the clos giraud

To be honest I do not think it would be an exaggeration to say that all the chairlifts in the Vaujany area need replacing. They are operated by SPL Oz-Vaujany, that belongs to Allemont, Oz and Vaujany villages who might be saving all their cash for the Allemont-Oz link, who knows

Ah - we call it (rather unimaginatively) the `chilly chair` in our family. Painfully slow - and often exposed to a freezing wind.

Any more news on the Allemont - Oz link ? Or is still out for consultation. Keep thinking I ought to buy somewhere in Allemont.

The issue seems to be the locals in Allemont don't want it due to parking and noise issues. The ski company offered to have the 'noisy' mechanical part of the lift at the end, not the beginning in Allemont. I'm sure there was a public consultation/vote in July but I haven't heard the outcome.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@skitow, I don't disagree. Vaujany is allegedly loaded as has some pipeline running through it which earns commune a small fortune. Interested to learn more of the Allemont link - are there any plans published?

You know it makes sense.

@howiet, My french is not good enough to be totally sure, but does this not mean they voted for it in Allemont ?

I think it says the local council are in favour. I will try and find out some more info.

@howiet, Yes that maybe makes sense as it says the bottom lift station would be built on the existing council depot, which maybe means the council will need to buy some more land from "someone" to relocate it........

@howiet, @skitow, yes it also says that the local recycling depot/ amenity tip and sports field would need locating to a different area. Negotiations are ongoing to purchase 7000sqm of land to relocate these services (the recycling depot/ tip would be to a different area). I also read it as being dependent on the relocation of state run services being agreeable. Not yet a done deal but progress since the idea was launched 5 years ago.

There is a pipeline from the Grand Maison dam which runs through the commune. The big EDF power station you see at the far end of the lake(just where you turn up to Vaujany) is classed as being in Vaujany. People who live in the commune I think get free water and maybe cheaper electricity(or maybe it's only the EDF workers). As you said they receive yearly rental income from EDF. I would love to know how much!
