30M Euro investment !! pretty big ! replacing both Chalvet lifts, and building a whole new base station and a new top station, I assume with modern facilities and retail, ticketing, shops, food etc. only a guess on top station. love seeing new infrastructure go in.
as long as they keep that webcam live, we can watch the progress in real time.

Interesting that they've chosen to invest in the South facing side which often closes earlier than the rest of the resort, especially given there are still a few fixed-grip chairs around that could be upgraded. Perhaps the summer/MTB aspect swings it?

Interesting development, that'll keep them going for a while. Also a useful webcam for anyone who thinks UK approach to H&S is in any way the fault of the EU

According to Skiresort.info the slow Prarial chairlift will be replaced after next season and a few others including a link from Gimonte to Rocher d'Agile

100%! But I would have preferred them doing something about those fixed chairs first. Very much so.
