10 new lift pylons were whisked into the skies over Les Arcs this week by Super Puma helicopter, with the whole operation taking just 2 hours and 45 minutes!

The 10 pylons are part of the new Carreley charlift that will be ready for service this winter. In the capable hands of pilot Justin Mattia, the helicopter not only took the new pylons up the mountain but also removed the old ones belonging to the now defunct Grand Renard chairlift.
