Ten years ago, on the 20th December 2003, skiers embarked for the first
time on the Vanoise Express (the world’s biggest cable car) to discover the
425km of pistes in the PARADISKI ski domain, linking the resorts of Les
Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry and la Plagne (Savoie-France) . The second biggest ski
domain in the world, PARADISKI is part of a group of very large interconnected
domains .
To celebrate this anniversary, PARADISKI has asked the haute-couture
designer, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, to decorate its Vanoise Express cable
car . The world-renowned artist and innovator will cover the two double-
decker Vanoise Express cable cars in a unique creation which will feature
throughout winter 2013/2014 .
This year PARADISKI is creating an event on the 16th December 2013
featuring PARADISKI GRAVITY . This will mark a world first in «highline»
(high altitude slack line) . The slack line will be strung between two cable cars
380m high . Two of the world’s best ‘high liners’, Julien Millot and Tancrede
Melet will negotiate their way along the rope, which will be suspended over
the valley between the two cable cars of the Vanoise Express, defying
gravity against an awesome backdrop!

The Vanoise Express cable car is at the heart of the Paradiski ski domain . It links the
key resorts of Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry and la Plagne taking you from one station
to the other in just four minutes at a speed of 45km/h; 12 .5 metres per second;
smoothly (there are no pylons) covering a distance of 1,824 metres in comfort and
absolute silence . The crossing drops 380 metres between stations since Peisey sits
at an altitude of 1612 metres whilst Coches is at a lower 1548m . The panoramic
cabins have two floors suspended above the picturesque Ponthurin valley and offer
the unique panorama of Mont Blanc, the Swiss and Italian Alps and the Beaufortain
massif . Built by POMA, the Vanoise Express is an ultra modern cable car and is one
of a kind in respect of its size, technology and in particular the fact that its comprises
two, separate engines on two separate cables allowing the cable cars to operate
independently of one another . Every cabin holds 200 people and there’s little risk of
a long wait either: these cable cars can turnover 4000 people per hour .
length: 1824 m - Drop: 63 m
cabin capacity: 200 passengers over 2 floors with 1 conductor
(80 people on the top level and 120 people at ground level)
Speed: 12 .5 m/s or 45 km/h
Height at the deepest part of the valley: 380 m
two stations: Montchavin-Les Coches and Plan-Peisey
construction company: POMA (www .poma .net)
cost of construction works in 2003: €15 million
As part of its Birthday celebrations, Paradiski has entrusted the creative Jean-
Charles de Castelbajac with the awesome task of decorating the two panoramic,
double storey cable cars of the Vanoise Express . It was without hesitation that the
famous haute-couture designer and artist, known the world over, accepted the task
of creating a unique design to adorn the biggest cable car in the world . The result of
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s work for Paradiski will be unveiled on the 17th October
2013 at Paradiski’s Birthday party at the Musee Grevin, Paris .
From the 21st December 2013 and throughout this winter, thousands of Vanoise
Express passengers will see the unique design cloaking the cable cars in celebration
of its 10 years thanks to the French artist Jean-Charles de Castelbajac .
Jean-charles de castelbajac
“Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is one of the symbolic creators of
our time, known as much for his creations as for this complete
and multi-faceted work of art, established for decades to come .
His thinking generates a thousand concepts in a thousand
directions, giving rise to a sound, a collaboration, a “mise-en-
scene”, a drawing .
A complex artist who is not solely defined by the restrictive field
of fashion . He joins, assembles, diverts, adapts, quotes, parodies
and represents all that is cinematic, artistic, television, comedic
image construction, fashion and more”
James bort, Photographer.

concept . Using the biblical image of the apple, Paradiski invites the visitor to succumb
to temptation by entering a vast, magical, seductive mountain range . The promise is
without equal: let yourself be tempted, dare and give yourself a total ski experience,
you are in Paradiski .
True to its reputation, Paradiski wanted an innovative campaign that reinvented

confirms its position as an internationally renowned ski domain for great skiers .
