Orcières Merlette: the "Star" conveyor belt reenchants the ski experience

Commissioned in 2025, the new "Star" conveyor belt and its protective gallery mark a major milestone in the modernization of Orcières Merlette's snow front. Replacing an old ski lift, this 177-meter structure was designed to streamline skier departures and make the mountain more accessible. Smoother, safer and much more pleasant, the conveyor belt serves a completely redesigned beginner area, facilitating learning for successful first skiing sensations.

The protective gallery integrates LED strips, creating a luminescent design. To perfect this ambiance, speakers broadcast music throughout the journey, transforming the ride into a relaxing sensory voyage. This glass cocoon protects users from wind and cold, guaranteeing total comfort before heading down a gentle green slope.

Ideal for beginners or simply enjoying the snow front, the "Star" conveyor belt radically changes the ski experience at Orcières. By eliminating the technical difficulty of traditional lifts, it allows beginners to focus on the essential: pleasure. This innovative and fully transparent architecture establishes itself as an essential asset of the resort, offering a gentle connection that will seduce families, in summer and winter alike.
