Good news. It seems a much better proposal than before. I hope it works out as I do like skiing in La Grave.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

The lift company Aeon, which also owns nearby Alpe d’Huez and Les Deux Alpes, wants to replace the button lift with a cable car, enabling more people to visit the glacier and take in the panoramic views that stretch as far as Mont Blanc. But many locals are against the scheme and want the glacier to be returned to its natural state, with access to the top restricted to those happy to hike uphill for at least 40 minutes.
But when I talk to a hotelier who has lived in La Grave for 46 years, since his hotel and the lift first opened to skiers, he tells me he supports the new plan. “If you’re running a business, you can’t be anti these developments,” he says. The issue has divided the village and its surrounding hamlets, some of which date back to the 12th century. |
Anyone know where the developments, timescales, likelihood of happening/not happening?
