New Aup de Véran cable car - 8-seater
After bringing a new life to the Platé area with the Désert Blanc 6-seater chairlift last season, this season it’s the access to the areas of Aup de Véran and Lindars that has been totally revamped.
Comfort and speed of transport guaranteed with the new 8-seater Aup Véran cable car!
 
3 new ski slopes
>The new Démon red slope allows skiers to vary their routes from the arrival of the Désert Blanc chairlift by offering them a secure route to the legendary Faust ski slope.
>Linking Emeraude to Turquoise, the new Quartz ski slope offers a 100% brand new blue route to bypass the steepest part of the Faust red ski slope.
>Blue variant of the Dolomie ski slope, the Grenat slope will no doubt quickly become a popular alternative route between the top of the Grands Vans and Combe de Vernant.
