The Aosta Valley is the historic heart of Italian cable car engineering: local manufacturers developed technology here that was later exported all over the world. This lift brings together the Aosta Valley’s mechanical tradition and the latest in cable car technology.
It runs in one of the harshest mountain environments in Europe. Cold winters, heavy loads of snow and wind, and strong sunshine at altitude call for top-grade materials and maintenance.
The lift is part of the Champoluc ski area: the resort page has the slopes, the weather and practical information for your day on the snow.
