Summer opening of the Orelle gondolas

Descriptive

This summer, the Orelle and Orelle–Caron gondola lifts are open daily.


Tips :
MTB and gravel bikes are allowed in the Orelle gondola only (not permitted in the Orelle–Caron gondola).
Road bikes are allowed in both gondolas as well as the Cime Caron cable car.

Animals are allowed in telecabins during summer. The operating staff reserves the right to refuse access to any animal that may not comply with hygiene or safety regulations
