By Ellie Mahoney, Updated

This autumn, a new detachable chairlift at the Brévent ski area will be built to replace the old fixed-grip Parsa chairlift.

This new lift will make this whole area much more fluid for the beginner runs and for returning from Flégère to Planpraz at the end of the day.

The two existing drag lifts (the TK Stade and the TK 2000) will also be replaced by one single drag lift.

Parsa chairlift technical specifications :

  • TSD 6 places
  • Altitude at the departure: 1782m
  • Altitude at the arrival: 2075m
  • Length: 1160m
  • Height difference: 293m
  • Number of chairs: 64
  • Cadence: 7 s 17’
  • Hourly capacity: 2,964 pax/hr
  • Duration of journey: 3min 50s
  • Construction: Leitner France
