Orelle telecabine, Gondola lift in Orelle, France
The Orelle telecabine stretches across 4,997 meters through the French Alps, connecting Orelle village to Val Thorens ski resort in Les 3 Vallées.
In December 2021, the new Orelle telecabine replaced the previous 3 Vallées Express, doubling passenger capacity to 2,500 people per hour.
The telecabine serves as a primary gateway for winter sports enthusiasts from France and Italy to access the extensive slopes of Les 3 Vallées.
The gondola system features two sections, with the first taking 13 minutes from Orelle to Plan Bouchet and the second requiring 5 minutes to Cime Caron.
From the summit station at 3,200 meters, passengers experience views spanning across the Maurienne Valley while accessing 600 kilometers of ski slopes.
