Eco-friendly shower gel
Since this winter, we have a new eco-friendly shower gel at Chalet Solneige.
ETHOSA is a start-up of 2 ambitious entrepreneurs who have developed an eco-friendly shower gel. To avoid disposable flasks, and transporting lots of water (90% of ordinary shower gel), Gaëlle and Oli supply their shower gel in the form of a powder. We mix that with Vaujany water, add Ethosa essential oil, and fill the aluminium flasks for you.
A small step to help make the world more environmental-friendly.

Clos Giraud lift has been renewed
After the renewal of the Montfrais lift, the Clos Giraud lift has now also been updated.
The Clos Giraud lift between Montfrais and Alpette is now a so-called télémixte;
alternating chairs and gondolas. The lift has been extended and now starts at
Montfrais, and is much faster than the old lift.
