Lift Watch Part 8

Lots of work going on at the top of the new lift this week

featured in News & Reviews Author Ellie Mahoney, Chamonix Editor Updated

Last week we had a look at what was going on at the bottom of the new gondola at Grands Montets, and this week Seven Twenty Productions have been up to the arrival point at the top to see what's been going on up there, and it looks like a lot!

A large crane has driven up to hoist sections of the new building into place, and the new toilets are looking like they are almost complete. 

The cable wheels are in place, more pylons have been installed and engineers are getting ready for the new cables to be put in.

To see how things have been progressing take a look at our previous updates:
