Most lifts were constructed during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Verbier's most recent lift is the ''La Chaux Express'' which has Gondolas running on the same wire as chairs. (This is one gondola every 3 chairs), which replace the old ''Fontanay'' lift and the Pedestrian transport system which was a snow bus.
