New Snow Cannons Going In

 

More new snow cannons are being installed above La Tania further improving the excellent snow cover we can rely on for our runs down to resort.

 

Since the Folyeres cannons went in below the top Gondola station back in 2001 the resort runs have been open from the first to the last days of the season.

 

The new cannons are on the top section of the Bouc Blanc and the Arolles Boulevard providing more guaranteed cover during the season if required.

New Improvement for 2008/9

The main news in the Courchevel area is a new piste from the top of Pralong & Biollay chairs straight down to the Suisse chair and more snow making above La Tania:

The new piste follows a similar route to the old Super Pralong drag lift from a few years ago and was a popular easy off piste run in the usual route up to Saulire using Biollay and Suisse with no need to remove skis.

New snow cannons are to be installed on both the Bouc Blanc (red) and Boulevard des Arolles (blue) pistes which link 1850 over to the top of the La Tania gondola from which there is already snow cannons all the way down to resort thus guaranteeing the link over from Courchevel.

There's also plans for a new swimming pool / sports complex in 1850 and a new Tourist Office with left luggage and waiting room over in 1550. In Méribel, the Tougnette gondola is getting completely refurbed for next Winter (this now runs only to the mid-station with the advent of the new Tougnette 6-man chair to the summit).
