Saint Lary ski resort inaugurates its new Fôret chairlift

Published: Dec 19, 2023

New Fôret chairlift in Saint Lary

This Wednesday, the new Fôret chairlift will be inaugurated in the ski resort of Saint-Lary-Soulan. The new six-people detachable lift will connect Espiaubé to the Soum de Matte and will allow skiing in an area that usually enjoys good snow quality.

The project is part of the Saint-Lary modernization program, one of the most ambitious in the Pyrenees, with an investment of 25 million euros, the first phase of which began last season with the replacement of the Espiaube gondola lift and the Tourette chairlift.

The new Fôret de Sain Lary chairlift will now be able to transport 2,100 people per hour (later extendable to 2,700) along its 1,300 meters of travel, with a 600-meter vertical drop. The holiday takes 5 minutes from its departure on the left side of the Espiaube cable car to its arrival about 80 meters from the Bouleaux chairlift landing terminal.

The inauguration of this new chairlift is the second and last phase of the Saint Lary modernization project, which has led to the dismantling of up to five old ski lifts and the removal of 38 bollards. Not only that. The Fôret is expected to reduce the number of shuttle buses in the area; improve the experience and, together with the existing Lita chairlift, allow visitors to return more quickly to the Pla d'Adet; and minimize the impact on the landscape and biodiversity.

At 3.45 h from Bilbao, 4.15 h from Barcelona and 6.20 h from Madrid, as the main cities receiving skiers, Saint-Lary is celebrating its 66th season. It opened its doors for the first time in 1957, and since then it has not stopped growing, becoming, with 105 kilometres of slopes, the largest winter resort in the French Pyrenees. Its 59 slopes are distributed among the Pla d'Adet, Espiaube and Le Vallon du Portet ski areas, which culminate at an altitude of 2,515 meters.

Technical data new TSD6 Fôrett:

Type: detachable chairlift
Departure elevation:
Arrival level:
Length: 1,3 kilometres
Elevation gain: 600 meters
Number of chairs: 67 with 6 people
Speed: 5m/s
Travel time: 5 minutes
Capacity: 2,100 pers/h (expandable to 2,700)
Bollards: 14
Manufacturer: Bartholet
Inauguration: December 20, 2023

The new Fôret de Saint Lary chairlift is a six-people chairlift.

More novelties for this winter

This season, new heated ski lockers have been installed for 3 to 5 pairs each. The system is also designed from an environmental point of view, as the lockers are kept warm by the heat of the gondola engine.

In this regard, Altiservice has signed a new contract for the supply of 100% renewable electricity for 2024 and 2025, green energy produced entirely locally.

Christmas agenda

Saint-Lary Soulan has a rich heritage that this Christmas season will be illuminated, will feature the special decorations of the shop windows of local establishments and many other activities.
