History of the Olympe gondola lift: an Olympic legacy

The history of the Olympe gondola lift dates back to the 1992 Albertville Olympic Games.

Created to quickly connect Brides-les-Bains (Olympic village) to Méribel (competition site), it was a symbol of innovation and dynamism.

For more than 30 years, this gondola lift has transported thousands of visitors each season, connecting the valley to the ski area in a spirit that is both practical and poetic.

Modernisation for comfort

Over the years, needs have evolved: more spacious cabins, panoramic windows, enhanced safety.
Today, the complete renovation of the departure point in Brides-les-Bains symbolises a new era: that of an open, connected and sustainable mountain, where transport becomes a full-fledged experience.
