#2 A new 162-space underground parking lot

To solve parking and traffic problems, a new underground parking lot has been built in the heart of the resort, beneath the Les Orres 1650 snow front. Part of a comprehensive resort-wide parking policy, the new underground parking lot will have a capacity of 162 spaces, including 9 charging points for electric vehicles. The main entrance will be at the traffic circle under the tourist office.

Significant benefits are expected in terms of improved safety (firefighter access, pedestrian walkways), snow removal, garbage collection, beautification of the resort center, visitor traffic to shops, easing congestion at the arrival of users, and links with the future Pôle Sport Innovation.

#5 Ski area

On the ski area side, preparations for the winter season are continuing, including :

  • Optimization of snow guns: some twenty obsolete snow guns have been replaced by more recent equipment, which better manages water resources and offers better snow quality.
  • Optimized grooming: the LIDAR system, which measures the height of the snowpack in real time, has been updated and optimized to provide an even more optimal map of the snowpack and thus better manage snow resources with more optimal production and distribution. A new snow groomer has been added to the resort's range of equipment.
