Tourism

Among the industries that have experienced strong growth in recent years, tourism is undergoing major upheavals and developments. Increasingly attractive, innovative and accessible, tourist destinations are investing to create differentiating offers while taking into account the sustainability issues of sites – whether natural or urban. To help visitors discover a place with a fresh perspective, to access it fluidly or to enhance a new viewpoint, cable is proving to be a fully-fledged experience for visitors thanks to solutions that can be adapted to all types of context while respecting the environment.

Today, the aspiration for nature and escape has never been so important, with a focus on local destinations as an essential lever to fulfill this aim. Our leisure and cable transportation infrastructures magnify the sites while respecting their ecosystem and creating a strong identity marker for a sensational and memorable customer experience.

Urban

Urban

As living places, cities are always evolving according to their rhythm. In our cities that are constantly on the move, the stakes of mobility and leisure are levers for making them more attractive thanks to offers that create fluidity and added value, accessible to all. As it grows in height, cable transportation frees itself from traffic and offers an efficient, safe and reliable mode of transportation that blends seamlessly into the urban landscape. With a limited carbon footprint, it is part of a vision of a more efficient and sustainable city serving its residents.

Cities are meeting places, but they are also reinventing themselves thanks to the development of new experiences to visit them in a different way. Playful, sporty, family or vertiginous, leisure facilities are now intruding into the urban universe to unveil the full potential of sites known or less known to the general public. Through these solutions, proven in the mountains, MND supports public or private project owners in their urban development related to mobility and leisure.
