What is Champagny Gondola
The Champagny gondola serves the high ground above Champagny-en-Vanoise, at the gates of the Vanoise national park. From the top, sources describe a panorama over the Vanoise glaciers, the Grand Bec and the Grande Casse — but none publishes the arrival altitude.
Two timetable constraints. The lift is closed on Saturdays, except on public holidays, and it stops from 12:45 to 14:00: an hour and a quarter, the longest break recorded across this repository's pages.
Its season is also offset from the rest of La Plagne: 5 July – 28 August here, against 4 July – 29 August for Roche de Mio and the Glaciers. A day shorter at each end, under the same brand.
