Télécabine de Beauregard, Gondola lift in La Clusaz, France
Télécabine de Beauregard is a detachable gondola lift in La Clusaz, Haute-Savoie, running from the village centre beside the snow front and the ice rink up to the pointe de Beauregard, the eastern end of the Beauregard plateau. Built in 2003, it replaced a cable car from 1955. At the summit, a tall metal lattice mast stands on the ridge above a small flat-roofed structure, with alpine ski runs and three ski lifts nearby.
Built in 2003, the Beauregard gondola replaced a cable car that had served the site since 1955. It is a detachable gondola lift running from the centre of La Clusaz, beside the snow front and the ice rink, up to the pointe de Beauregard.
The gondola is named after the pointe de Beauregard, the eastern end of the plateau it serves above La Clusaz. Its lower station stands beside the village's snow front and ice rink, so the lift is part of the everyday village landscape rather than a remote mountain installation.
The gondola departs from the center of La Clusaz, next to the snow front and the ice rink, and rises to the tip of Beauregard, the eastern end of the plateau of the same name. The upper station gives access to alpine and cross-country ski slopes and three ski lifts. The base is within walking distance of the village center.
The 2003 lift replaced a 1955 cable car, so the line has carried skiers for decades. At the top, the ridge marks the eastern end of the Beauregard plateau, where three ski lifts serve the alpine and Nordic slopes.
