To get between the ski areas of La Plagne and Les Arcs, you take the world's biggest and most prestigious cable car: the Vanoise Express.A real technological marvel, the Vanoise Express is an ultramodern cable car with two cabins, each with two levels, each with a capacity of 200 people, for a total capacity of 2000 people per hour in each direction. It takes just 4 minutes to cross. The cabins cross the valley 380 meters above the ground, travelling from the Peisey station (altitude 1612 m) to the Montchavin-Les Coches station (1548 m). Over a 1824 meter distance, the cabins pass over the picturesque Ponturin valley, offering panoramic views of Mont-Blanc, the Beaufortain massif and the North Face of Bellecôte glacier, Paradiski®'s legendary off-piste itinerary.
