The French ski resorts are therefore continuing to increase their attractiveness for their guests. Have you already booked your winter sports holiday in France for this season? SNOWELL has compiled a wealth of information on the new developments to make your choice easier.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;210341&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Val d\u2019Is\u00e8re<\/h3>\n<h4>Vallon de l&#8217;Iseran<\/h4>\n<p>New winter season means new lifts in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.snowell.com\/ski-hire\/france\/rhone-alpes\/savoie-savoy\/tignes-val-claret\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tignes<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.snowell.com\/ski-hire\/france\/rhone-alpes\/savoie-savoy\/val-d-isere\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Val d&#8217;Is\u00e8re<\/a> ski area. The Vallon de l&#8217;Iseran gondola lift transports 10 people from 2320m to 2790m in 6.5 minutes. That&#8217;s great news, because less time in the gondola means more time on the fantastic slopes of the Tignes &#8211; Val d&#8217;Is\u00e8re ski area. The flow in the ski area will also be improved by the new lift. The whole project has been planned in a very climate-friendly way. In order to protect nature in the best possible way, the cable car runs in the same place as the old cable car from 1982. 32 supports were removed for this purpose and 2 ski lifts were also dismantled. Following the construction of the new gondola lift, a great deal will be invested in renaturation in order to give the high alpine flora and fauna more space again.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;108774&#8243;]<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uu-f_kTP7Cs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><br \/>\nNew lifts in France 2024\/2025 \u2744\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valdisere.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Val d\u2019Is\u00e8re<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;191299&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Tignes<\/h3>\n<h4>Le Marais<\/h4>\n<p>Tignes is not idle either.

The route has changed slightly. The lift now departs next to the Aiguille Rouge and arrives at the old TSF Marais mountain station.
