PARIS - In 2009, Saint Lary invested 14 million Euros into the construction of a new cable car, which will save 1400 car rides, 50 coaches and 20 shuttles every day! Less traffic means less pollution, which keeps our resort beautiful. The state-of-the-art installation can carry 3000 skiers per hour to the peaks in just 8 minutes.
Since 2000, a total of 28 million Euros have been invested in modernising the slopes and strengthening the snow-making system. Today, 80% of the site has guaranteed snow, with a system of 250 snow machines, putting the resort well ahead of the average in France.
