1 Pic del Carroi technical data:

Holders of the Ski Pass of the Pal ski resort , within the Parish of La Massana, will be able to use the Pic del Carroi cable car free of charge. This new lift, which will start from Andorra la Vella, according to the project, would reach almost 2,334 meters in the first phase. For later, the connection from that point to the Pal tracks would be left.

The financing of the project is 100% private, promoted by the Austrian company Doppelmayr , although it is expected that in the future some company will take over the management of the facilities. Both the Comú d'Andorra la Vella and that of la Massana have assured that they will not contribute capital for the project, nor will they make any compensation in the event that a minimum billing is not reached.

At the start, which in principle seems to take place in the Els Pouets car park in Andorra la Vella, a car park area can also be created.

There are no minimum or maximum prices for the ticket, but the canon that will have to be paid to the two Comuns on which the Pic del Carroi cable car extends.

Once the terms of reference are approved by the Government Council, it would be left for public display for 4 months, and the work would be awarded in the autumn.
