Since Doppelmayr installed the first high-speed detachable chair at Breckenridge in the early 80s, the tech has been widely adopted in the best ski areas around the world as the most efficient and quickest way to move skiers and snowboarders around resorts. The majority of La Plagne’s chairs are now high-speed models, including the new Lovatiere TSD chair that will rise from Plagne Centre up to Les Verdons summit. Indeed, La Plagne has a proud history of introducing ground-breaking chairlifts to the area including the mighty 8-person Colosses out of Plagne Bellecôte which was once the world’s fastest.
