Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

New Chairlift for Thollon

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
The Parchet lift that runs up to Boree will be replaced this year starting May 1st. The current two seater chair was installed in 1985 having been previously running at Morillon, but it will not be legally allowed to operate after 2012. The lift will be moved so it runs up the left side of the main piste and there will no longer be the possibility to get off at half way. Unfortunately it will not be a clutch type chair which is apparently too expensive but nonetheless it'll be a 4 seater and will reduce queues at this lift. This will cost approx. €2.5m. The work will be finished in October.

The main gondola from the village will be replaced in 2013. Yearly maintenance and inspections are getting exceptionally expensive and the replacement is now unavoidable. The study of the type, situation and environmental considerations, as required by French law is not yet finished but it’s thought that it would be a 6 seat 10 standing type lift which would also increase the uphill capacity by a large amount. The access will also be made easier for handicapped persons.

The departure building will be rebuilt but the top station will remain as is, but this was under consideration for the future. The total costs for this lift would be around €7m. The funding for both lifts was in the part from the Community of Communes (CdC) around €3m and the rest would be from loans. The CdC requires that the lift be open more often in the non ski period so that it would attract more tourists to the whole area.

Thanks for the news.
Thollon is a heavenly little place - possibly my favourite ski resort of all time.
Will be sorry to see the cosy little gondola dismantled but glad to hear they're sticking with relatively slow lifts.
Bravo pour Thollon!

how is the ski area? We passed it obviously on the way up to PDS, and location wise its pretty awesome that close to Geneva. Kind of makes me wish we had taken a day down there to check it out.
