PROJECTS

The high-quality design, expertise, and construction experience of Montaz have led to the realization of over 170 installations in mountainous regions. Approximately 450 kilometers of cable traverse avalanche-prone areas, allowing for the triggering of more than 1,500 dangerous avalanches for skiers and motorists.
Over the past 30 years, most ski resorts have built Montaz CATEX systems.

Iconic References
In 1992, Val d’Isère equipped the Olympic downhill ski slope with Montaz CATEX systems. Courchevel, Tignes, Ste Foy, La Plagne, Les 2 Alpes, Crans Montana, and more are equipped with Montaz CATEX systems.
The access road to the ISOLA 2000 resort is protected by the two largest Montaz CATEX systems in the world (8 and 5.5 kilometers of cable!!!, with 70 firing points).
