Thanks swskier, that would explain it.
I wonder why they put a magic carpet there? I don't remember that bit of slope being really easy. People used to use that drag lift to get back to their hotels if they were up that side of the resort.

I've looked on the VT website now, and it says they've spent 1.5 million euros on 4 new magic carpets covered in glass tunnels. It also says the carpets go up and down the slope, to get the beginners to the ski school meeting point.
So, that will be good for beginners.
And, it also says they've put in a new connection between VT and the Orelle area, which will be good for everyone else.

Looks like being one of the best opening days for ages.
Hope this is a good omen for the season, we will be there in March.
