Djomein", with moving-carpet loading system and an hourly capacity of 2,400

people/hour. A si-seat chairlift, also with moving-carpet loading will join "Campetto - Pré de Veau - Plan Torrette." It will have a capacity of 3,000 people/hour. The KC10 Breuil - Plan Maison cable car will also be upgraded with he abins replaced and hourly capacity increased to 2,000 people per hour.

The upgrades will create a new, fast and efficient alternative for reaching Plan Maison and Plateau Rosà directly from the resort.
