CD6 AIGUILLE PERCÉE

The French winter resort of Tignes took another important step forward in the modernization of its ropeway infrastructure with the new 6-seater chairlift “Aiguille Percée”. The LEITNER-realized system is equipped with energy-efficient LEITNER DirectDrive and increases capacity to up to 2,400 passengers per hour, reducing waiting time and improving access to the main slopes. The gearless drive unit is particularly quiet and resource-friendly, helping to enhance both operational safety and the quality of the ride. The chairlift climbs around 300 meters in altitude along its 1-kilometer route. Its 44 chairs run at an operating speed of up to 6 m/s and guarantee a seamless and steady flow of passengers. With its new ropeway, Tignes is making a clear commitment to future-oriented, high-performance and sustainable winter sports infrastructure in the French Alps.
