Dual-belt moving carpet at Valberg: fluidity and sustainable 4-season mobility.

Context / Description

Installed on the strategic Garibeuil sector at Valberg, the dual-belt moving carpet designed by FUNBELT® is a feat of technology and flexibility. Thanks to its TWINLIFT® configuration (parallel dual belts), it offers exceptional capacity, guaranteeing an ascent without waiting, even during peak periods. To ensure optimal operation, the gallery has been expanded upstream and downstream, incorporating motorized curtains that protect the installation at night or during extreme weather conditions.

The user experience is at the heart of the design: boarding is secured by a Stop & Go sliding door and facilitated by a fixed handrail, allowing users to gain confidence from the start. Safety is reinforced by a left-side lateral exit and an optical sensor user counting system, providing operators with precise, real-time flow management.

The strength of this installation lies in its 4-season character. While the gallery protects skiers from winter weather, in summer it becomes an essential link in the leisure offering. The moving carpet thus directly serves the summer toboggan run that runs alongside the structure. Vacationers enjoy an effortless ascent, sheltered from the sun, to chain runs in a safe and fun setting.

By integrating this gentle mobility solution, Valberg resort, awarded the Green Snowflake label, reaffirms its commitment to sustainable tourism. The FUNBELT® dual-belt moving carpet doesn't just optimize the snow front; it maximizes the investment throughout the year, offering a comfortable and safe experience for young and old alike, whether on skis, on a toboggan ride, or on a hike.
