La Plagne: the double Ange conveyor belt optimizes flow at 2,300 m

Context / Description

La Plagne is an exceptional resort at the heart of Paradiski, an immense area of 425 km of slopes offering unique landscape diversity, from glaciers to forests. Comprising 10 resorts, including 6 ski-in/ski-out altitude stations, La Plagne chose to install a FUNBELT® double conveyor belt to optimize flow at a strategic point of the massif. Located near the top station of the Arpette 8-seater chairlift, it represents a key infrastructure for inter-resort mobility. It allows skiers arriving from the Crozats chairlift to climb back to the pass to reach the Montchavin-Les Coches sectors without descending to Plagne Bellecôte.

In addition to its connection function within Paradiski, the "Ange 1 & 2" conveyor belt serves the upper part of the Arpette slope. Located at 2,300 m, it offers beginners a high-altitude skiing experience, allowing them to progress in an alpine environment with a magnificent panorama of Mont-Blanc rather than at the base of the resort.

Thanks to its 2 conveyor belts, the TWINLIFT® double conveyor belt ensures a constant throughput of 3,000 people per hour. Thanks to belt technology with exceptional grip, transport is secured regardless of weather conditions. The protective gallery FUNVISIO® is specifically designed to withstand heavy snowfall and the climatic constraints of the Arpette sector. Finally, this installation integrates a sustainable dimension with reduced energy consumption, thus preserving the environment at the heart of an exceptional ski area!
