Accommodation 
The 10-seater gondola lift Face Nord connects the area from the Glacier de Thorens to the Col de Thorens (3,002 m). It thus closes the gap left by the decommissioning of the 4-seater chairlift Col and the 3-seater chairlift Glacier, creating an improved connection from Val Thorens to Orelle.
