Altitude Ski Instructors and Managers Jon and Dom along with previous gap student Claire took a trip to the Parc Aventure in Sion this weekend. They enjoyed taking part in the 10 Level course suspended high in the trees. The course inlcludes wobbly platforms to cross, tunnels to crawl through, zip wires and many more obstacles. Everyone in the group managed the top black run although according to Dom, there was a litte cheating from Claire!

Following suit to the Tortin – Gentianes cable-car, it is now up to the Gentianes - Mont Fort (Mont-Fort 2) lift to get its makeover, with the arrival of two new cabins produced by CWA, a company based in Solothurn. Televerbier have taken this opportunity to connect the top of the Mont-Fort to the electric network, thus ensuring power to the new cable-car’s access gates, as well as to the igloo snack bar on top of the Mont-Fort. The unpleasant smells emitted by the generator that once supplied the highest permanently operated igloo in Europe (3,300m) will now be a thing of the past.
