The Tortin-Gentianes cable-car that serves the Mont Fort glacier in the Swiss Four Valleys ski area re-opened on Saturday following extensive renovations.

The cable cars cabins have been replaced by new cabins with panoramic views and automatic doors. Other behind-the-scenes improvements mean boarding time will also be reduced

Originally Built in 1981, the Tortin-Gentianes cable-car has been refurbished after 28 years of activity. It accesses the summit of Gentianes a few steps away from Mont-Fort.
