Well it’s now January and there is still no sign of the new Chavannes Gondola in Les Gets coming into service.

So far there appears to have been minimal confusion but until things get back to normal we thought it worth pointing out the alternatives:

• Absolute beginners or clients who are not yet confident on green runs should NOT use the Chavannes Express. This takes skiers higher than the gondola and once you have disembarked you will need to be able to negotiate green/easy blue runs at the very least.

• The Chavannes Express is however a very viable alternative for anyone who can ski easy runs and will give quicker access to The Ranfolly Bowl or Morzine.

• The Route de Chavannes is a road which finishes literally at the same point as the Chavannes Gondola. There is parking at the top but be aware it is limited and fills up quickly. Useful though if you are just doing a pick up/ drop off or arrive for the day’s slide nice and early!

• The Navette is a free bus service which will take clients to the top of the Route de Chavannes and is probably by far the most sensible alternative for Absolute Beginners and/or low end intermediates.

Let’s hope things get back to normal very soon but in the meantime we hope this helps!
