Orelle wins award for new zip wire to Val Thorens

Regular visitors to our blog may recall that we tested out the new zip wire in the Three Valleys last winter.

Flying at 300om

Located at the top of Orelle and stretching 1.3km between two peaks both higher than 3000m, this zip wire is one to test your senses.

We loved it when we tried it out – and it turns out we were not alone in being impressed.

Best Transport Innovation

Earlier this month, the zip wire won Orelle the ‘Best Transport Innovation’ at the World Snow Awards in London.

Take a look at the video we shot on our visit in February for an insight into what this amazing lift is like:

It really is great fun – and although it costs a fair amount (€50) – we highly recommend it on your next visit to Val Thorens or any other Les 3 Vallees resorts.
