Ski Resort Improvements for Winter 2019 – 20
In the summer there’s often lots of work going on, with many ski resorts working hard to improve the ski experience.
That’s definitely the case for Winter Ski Season 2019/2020, so here’s an update of the new developments…
Resort Improvements in Le Grand Bornand 2018
We saw plenty of work & action in Le Grand Bornand throughout the latter half of 2017, preparing for Winter 2017 – 18 season.
This has resulted in some great improvements to the ski slopes & beginner’s area around the resort…
Ski Lift Improvements in La Clusaz – Winter 2018
The main development in La Clusaz for winter 2018 – 19 was the new fast 6-person chair lift for Cret du Merle.
This will significantly improve the capacity & speed of uplift from the village centre, alongside the new lift station.
What’s New in the Aravis Mountains Ski Domain
The name has changed & the Aravis Mountains now becomes incorporated into the wider Annecy Mountains brand.
This is a recognition of the strong links our home resorts of La Clusaz & Le Grand Bornand have with the town of Annecy.
