The new pylons going up …
The Portes du Soleil is investing in two new ski lifts for winter 2014/15, creating a better link between Morzine and Avoriaz. Both the Proclou and the Seraussaix chairlifts are being replaced to create faster connections in the Super Morzine area. The Portes du Soleil has been investing heavily in improvements to their ski infrastructure over the last few years – with other key lifts such as the Prodains cable car and the Pleney bubble also being replaced and modernised in recent years.
The Proclou and Seraussaix chairlifts have long been a bottleneck as they receive a lot of traffic from the commute of slope users staying in Morzine but skiing in Avoriaz. These chairlifts also service some of the excellent beginner level slopes in Avoriaz, and are thus frequented by many ski schools, as well as, of course, giving access to the Chapelle snowpark & Stash.
Not only will the new high speed chairs get you up the hill quicker, but the placement of the top of the new Seraussaix chairlift means that there will no longer be an annoying push along the top to get back to Super Morzine. The top of the Seraussaix will be slightly higher along the Super Morzine ridge meaning that it is a short, downhill track (rather than long flat) to access the Super Morzine slopes. Great news for snowboarders in particular!
