(Updated 14 Sept)
La Plagne will not be happy to see itself nominated by Where to Ski and Snowboard as having the "most persistent problem" in the form of the queues at the Bellecote gondola. Not least as change is on the agenda.
As the Perso-LaPlagne site documents, plans are well under way for the new 8 person Colosses lift, which will relieve some of the pressure. Maybe it will alleviate the queues to the Roche de Mio too.
Apparently the La Plagne spin doctors have been busy publicising the news. It will be the fastest 8 person lift in France, reports today's Le Dauphiné; this Wednesday a 350 ton crane will be ready to lift the gare du départ into place. The capacity will be 4,400 skiers/hour, compared with 2,400 previously. Etc.
