La Rosière is investing €4.8 million in a new four-seater chairlift at Petit-Bois, as part of ongoing improvements to the French ski resort’s lift infrastructure.
The new lift, designed and manufactured by Grenoble-based company GMM – who also built the original Petit-Bois lift that is being replaced – will have a capacity of 1,400 passengers per hour.
The investment will improve uplift capacity in the Petit-Bois sector, helping skiers move around the mountain more efficiently.
Replacing the resort’s first ever chairlift
The old lift was opened on Christmas Day in 1980 and was the first chairlift in La Rosière. The old chairs were sold at auction last summer to raise funds for the environmental organisation, Mountain Riders.
The project is another addition to La Rosière’s ongoing investment in its ski area, which forms part of the Espace San Bernardo ski domain linking France with La Thuile in Italy.
La Rosière is known for its sunny south-facing slopes, wide-ranging pistes and cross-border skiing opportunities, making it a popular choice for families and intermediate skiers.
