The La Plagne resort is innovating

On Tuesday 16 July, La Plagne unveils Aérolive, an original innovation that transforms mountain transport into a real experience. With this new concept, the resort offers visitors the opportunity to take in the view while fully enjoying the alpine panorama.

Aérolive consists of two fully open cable cars, named « L’Acrobate » and « La Funambule ». Unlike traditional lifts, these facilities allow passengers to travel outdoors. They thus offer a complete immersion in the mountain environment.

Equipped with a safety harness system, passengers can enjoy the journey in complete serenity. As the climb progresses, the panorama gradually opens up to the surrounding peaks. The experience also allows visitors to admire the scenery of the Vanoise and the alpine terrain from a particularly impressive perspective.

At more than 3,000 meters of altitude, Aérolive offers an extraordinary experience. The journey becomes a genuine tourist activity, where the ride up is as much about discovering the mountain as reaching the heights.

A breathtaking experience

With Aérolive, La Plagne aims to offer a new way to discover the mountains. The goal is no longer just to reach a point located at a high altitude. The journey itself becomes an experience, with a particularly strong sense of freedom.

Imagine yourself installed in an open cabin, with the fresh mountain air around you. Beneath your feet, the valleys gradually recede as the peaks reveal themselves on the horizon. The unobstructed view allows you to observe the alpine landscapes without the usual constraints of a closed cabin.

This experience also offers many opportunities for photography enthusiasts. The different viewpoints allow for capturing the summits, valleys, and high mountain landscapes from unusual angles. Nature enthusiasts can also take the time to observe the environment and the reliefs surrounding La Plagne.
