New Saulire Express in Méribel

Work on the first stage of Méribel’s new Saulire gondola is being finalised. The top section of the new Saulire Express will be ready for December 2011 and
the lower section will be installed next summer. When completed, this
fast 8-man gondola will cut travel time from the resort to the Saulire from
over 20 minutes to 12 minutes.

The new lift will arrive at the same point as the Courchevel Saulire cable car, at the top of the Couloir Tournier. The slightly higher arrival point will also give
Méribel skiers access to the Grand Couloir black run and the off-piste Saulire
couloirs. For this winter, skiers from Méribel will take the old Saulire 1 lift
to the midstation, then descend a couple of hundred metres to the new Saulire
Express 2 midstation to continue their journey to the summit.
