Spend the Night in A Cable Car

Courchevel in France is to give someone the chance to spend the night in a cabin of its Saulire cable car, suspended 2700 metres above the famous French resort, for one night only – March 6th.

The cable car will be completely transformed in just a matter of hours after ferrying the last skiers of the day down from the slopes so that one lucky winner and three of their guests will have a space for the night, complete with a bed and living room.

The contest to win the night in the cable car cabin is being organised by Airbnb, an accommodation provider which describes itself as a “community of hosts” and says it now has  more than a million listings around the world.  Best known for its city destinations, the company is trying to boost its credentials as a ski accommodation provider too.

After climbing the ski runs by snowmobile, the four guests will be greeted with traditional mulled wine at the Saulire Summit, then served a Savoyard fondue.

They will then tuck in for the night in the cable car cabin and in the morning will have the privilege of laying down “first tracks” on the untouched snow.

“We are happy to offer a unique experience of the mountain to four lucky winners who will discover Courchevel from an unprecedented angle! We thrive on challenge and take pride in opening up new possibilities,” said Adeline Roux, Courchevel Tourism’s Director.

For a chance to win this unique experience, visit Courchevel’s listing on Airbnb no later than 25 February at 23h59 and tell the host why you would like to spend the night in the Saulire cable car.

The contest is open to families or groups of friends, four people maximum.
