Ski lifts – Maximum confort minimum waiting
Les 3 Vallées have always been at the forefront in terms of ski lifts, some of them were even invented in Les 3 Vallées, like the FUNITEL in Val Thorens, technology exported today around the world.
The equation is very simple, more efficient ski lifts = less waiting and more skiing! In Les 3 Vallées, on a 7-hour day on the slopes, there are only 2 hours of queues, compared to 3 or 4 hours in the competing stations.
