Les Arcs’ New TransArc Lift This Winter
Les Arcs’ New TransArc Lift This Winter
Published : 02-Sep-2024 04:09
One of the key lifts from Les Arcs, the TransArc, has been upgraded over the past year with the shiny new version available for the coming winter, which kicks off on December 15th.
The new lift linking Arc 1800 with the mountain tops will be able to carry more passengers up in a shorter time but still manage to use less electricity than its predecessor, in keeping with the resort's strong environmental priorities.
The upgrade sees more spacious cabins, each now capable of carrying 10 passengers, added to the 3.4km long line. There'll also be more cabins overall, up from 92 to 138, and the lift will travel faster, at a veery nifty seven metres per second as it climbs from its base at 1,707 metres above sea level, to the arrival point at an altitude of 2,544 metres.
The greater speed means the ascent time has also been cut by a third from 20 to 13 minutes.
With an eye to the year-round, non-skier market, another current focus of the resort, there'll be a mineral gallery exhibiting beautiful specimens to visit at the mid station and a 360° panoramic view to enjoy the two. Of course skiers and boarders are welcome to enjoy both of those attractions too.
