We drove up this evening to see the work going on to construct the new lift to the top of the Chamossiere - just to the side of the bottom of the steep drag lift, so a couple of diggers and lots of holes in the ground. Then drove on to the area by the top of the Nauchets lift and very good view from there of the route it will take up to the top - well just below the existing top. Will go back in a couple of weeks with binoculars and zoom camera for a better look and see how it is going.
The Chavannes gondola is receiving its upgrade. They have almost finished demolishing the base station and there is a large poster showing what the new base station will look like.
Haven't found anything out about the plans for the drag lift at La Turche yet. Still all still there for now.

exactly what we thought!
Can't tell what size it is - but if someone has said 6 seater then probably right. Its going to get a lot of people up there though which is a shame in a way.

Pamski, I don't really see how this helps reduce traffic at Grand Pre (from Tom's earlier post) because generally the two busiest lifts are the Troncs and Charniaz rather than the Tetes. I know Tetes is long but it's quite pleasant. Hey ho.
The Blanchots lift was the scene of an early rise in OH's learning curve on our second trip (and certainly tested my French), will tell you next time

hm there is another one in Les Deux Alpes, my first proper resort 
Fast quad chair:
The POMA chairlift (Sautet) is being built in the Toura sector, and will link the area just below Toura to the top of the chairlift up from La Fée – on the back of the peak and serving mainly red and black runs, plus ski routes down from the Gours valley – some of the ski area’s most interesting slopes. The new chair is 474m long and should improve access to this area from the front side. Most of the towers are now in place, so the lift should be ready in time for the 2010/11 winter season.

I was wondering about starting a new lifts thread but I'm not sure if one already exists?
In the Three Valleys; top section of Saulire bubble is being replaced, Plantrey chair in Courchevel is to be a TSD6, new Funitel and new pistes in VT and starting work on replacing Platteries (info suggests not operational this season) http://www.latania.co.uk/blog/?p=2454

Maybe a mod could split this out and title it?

You know it makes sense.

In Verbier the Mayentzet and Coombe 1 have been taken out and will be combined into a new debrayable six person lift of identical design to Les Attelas (James Blunt). Works progressing well with all the pylon bases in and the base and top stations under construction.
More impressive is extensive renovation of snow making with lots more going in and the existing hose pipes being replaced with drain pipes. Great investment from Televerbier.
