Bromont Inaugurates New "L'Express Du Village" Lift
It is with great pride that on this day Bromont, montagne d'expériences is announcing the official inauguration of its brand-new chondola "L'Express du Village", an investment of some $10 million.
The construction of this new hybrid chairlift achieves one of the first stages of its ambitious Altitude project, with a total investment in excess of $100 million, in collaboration with the Québec government. This lift will become a strategic asset for the positioning as well as the level of service our mountain can offer as a top tourist destination.
New hybrid chairlift "L'Express du Village"
The new lift`s name is derived from the merging of its location; at the bottom of the Versant du Village, which is the main slope side of the resort and from one of its numerous qualities; being its speed, comfort and flexibility. As a matter of fact, this new hybrid lift consists of 72, 6-place chairs and 18, 8-place gondolas which will enable the lift to transport 3,200 people per hour which represents an increased capacity of 34 % and this in a record time since skiers will reach the summit in only 4 minutes, 25 seconds.
