The project of the cable car from Benasque to Cerler rises to 30 million euros

Published: Nov 10, 2022

The initial idea of building a ski lift linking Benasque with the Cerler ski resort has become an entire urban operation that includes a shopping centre initially designed for stores linked to winter sports equipment, as well as a two-story car park . and even a variant from the A-139 to avoid having to cross the town.

In total, adding the cable car and the shopping centre, about 30 million euros . The ski lift takes 40%, but the European Union through the Next Generation Funds will deliver 10 million euros to the company in charge of its construction. The remaining money until the total cost of the device is completed will be obtained by this company from the exploitation rights of all the infrastructure, which will be granted in concession for a certain number of years.

A plan that the Benasque City Council intends to carry out these days thanks to the vote of the five councilors of the PAR and the two of the PSOE . The three from the PP abstained while the one from Cambiar was absent at the time of the vote.

Now we will have to see what the company that is awarded the works says. If you are willing to charge half of the total cost and receive the rest in exchange for keeping the management and operation of the ski lift.

As for the shopping centre, the City Council wants it to be profitable by making the valley's merchants open premises in the new stores that are going to be set up and in this way they can get closer to this new access point for skiers to Cerler.

Half a dozen stores will be created. This makes it necessary to reduce the number of car parks . The first project sought some 82sleeps 5 for vehicles on two floors. Now part of them will go to the new premises as published a few days ago by the Heraldo de Aragón.

The Benasque City Council has an economic study with three possible scenarios on the viability of the operation, which according to the mayor guarantee its economic profitability . The Huesca Chamber of Commerce made another regarding the car park that it will now review by resizing its size due to the adequacy of a commercial area.

The third project of the Benasque Cable Car operation includes an access road from the A-139 so that occasional visitors do not have to enter Benasque. In this way they will be able to directly enter the gondola building.

Some environmental and neighborhood organizations have shown some disagreement with the project. Some because they assure that the flow of vehicles will be excessive and others because they believe that this will end up killing the town of Cerler, very devoid of services and pending for years of infrastructures that have remained halfway such as sidewalks, lighting or garbage collection. . Both Cerler and Anciles are towns located within the municipality of Benasque.

From the PP , for its part, it is criticized that this new Benasque cable car will arrive approximately one kilometer from the El Molino chairlift, which forces a long walk with ski boots on and equipment on the shoulder.. The mayor denies this fact, because the distance
