The construction of the new "Aquatic Leisure Centre" is also under way, by the lake.
Summer visitors with kids can also try out the new adventure park in Les Brévières...

Its interesting to see the plans going out over several years - I wonder if we'll get such detail from Tourist Offices when it comes to e-mailing them...

As opposed to a telesiege which is a chair lift. And a telecabin is a gondola or bigger.

means it is demountable as far as I can remember, so it can be slow loading - fast moving, if that makes sense

I'm pretty sure it means 'demountable' - the chairs slow down for boarding and offloading but the wire runs much faster for the ride. Some of the newer French 6 pack chairs can go eyewateringly fast, with tremendous uplift capacity but are freezing cold on a bad day. A few in exposed areas have transparent 'wind-shields'. I can remember at least one of these in Tignes
<<< Edit - posts above got out-of-sequence but I think we've got all the answers now >>>>>

Replacement of the Tufs chair can't come soon enough in my opinion. Had the worst chairlift journey of my life on this rickety old thing last December. In good conditions it is an unpleasantly long ride, but on this occasion the wind was howling and it was bitterly cold. At one point I thought the chairs were going to be blown off the cable. Never have I been so pleased to get off a lift as I was on that day!

Hi Pete
It will be a long wait, and with our apartment in Les Arcs nearly finished I'll only ski in Tignes out of season. Fortunately there's lots of new development in Les Arcs to look forward to as well!
It's looking less likely that I'm going to be in BSM/Les Arcs this summer as I've got a couple of business trips to the US which will take up too much time. My next visit will be in November (I'm in Tignes for a week's 'race training') so I'll pop down to Les Arcs to see how the building on our new apartment is progressing. BTW, if you're up at 1800 at any time could you take a photo of the MGM contruction at Alpage du Chantel. We're interested to see how things are progressing there.
Regards
Rob
