The Jandri intermediate station: get to the heart of the new lift

The intermediate station, the central hub of the Jandri, is the place to be during your visit. This innovative structure is the nerve centre of the new lift. The intermediate station is actually 2 stations grouped together in a single building. This veritable hub for skiers and visitors brings together unrivalled machinery, a cathedral-like garage and comfortable, modern relaxation areas.

During your visit, you'll have the chance to go behind the scenes of this unsuspected station. A member of the Sata 2 Alpes team will guide you through the building, sharing with you the history, architecture and operation of the Jandri.

The Jandri, same domain, new dimension

The new Jandri 3S is much more than just a cable car. It's a technological feat that embodies innovation and progress, and is the result of a collective approach: building sustainably to secure the future of future generations and our mountains. This new means of transport, which replaces the old Jandri Express, the backbone of the Les 2 Alpes ski area, and is designed to operate all year round, aims to considerably improve the fluidity and speed of travel between the resort and the glacier. With its impressive transport capacity, it will reduce waiting times and increase user comfort.

The colossal 18-month project, located in the heart of Les 2 Alpes, was a veritable hive of activity. The teams worked relentlessly to deliver an infrastructure that lived up to expectations, meeting major technical challenges for both engineers and workers.

The Jandri in a few figures

• More speed, with access to 3200 in 17 minutes instead of 40 with the old Jandri Express
• Maximum comfort with 32 places, including 24 seated
• Less waiting with increased throughput: 3,000 people/hour vs. 1,700 for the old Jandri Express in boarding capacity
• Panoramic cabins for breathtaking 360° views
• 3S technology: 3 cables for optimum stability even in 100 km/h winds
• 7 pylons instead of the 17 of the old Jandri Express to minimise the impact on the landscape
• 4 new stations integrated into their environment for a controlled footprint.
