La société du Téléphérique du Salève (STS) wins the operating contract for 12 years from April 1, 2019. The site is scheduled to be completely renovated by 2022.
Le Groupement Local de Coopération Transfrontalière (GLCT Téléphérique du Salève) has renewed its confidence in STS, the company that operates the téléphérique since 2013. STS is a subsidiary of the RATP Group (51%), of the Geneva public transport TPG (47%), and COMAG (2%).
STS will participate in 28% of the total planned renovation and development work for the site which will start in 2020 (i.e. €2,630,000 funded by STS). This new contract will open up unprecedented horizons in the history of the cable car. This development is intended to be ambitious but reasonable in a Natura 2000 protected area. The basic values have been developed around 3 guiding themes: Nature, Culture, Leisure.
