Glacier 3000
Glacier 3000 is a company that operates several cable cars and ski lifts in the region of the Diablerets in western Switzerland. It was created in 2005 and took over the assets of the then bankrupt Glacier 3000 Région Les Diablerets-Gstaad S.A.. The company is now based in Gstaad.
The main cable car was opened in 1964 and rebuilt in 1999. It connects the Col du Pillon from the Scex Rouge. The company also operates ski lifts on the Tsanfleuron Glacier. In 2005 the rights to Glacier 3000 were bought by a triumvirate of the French businessman Jean Claude Mimran, the British businessman and Formula One Executive Bernie Ecclestone, and the local Swiss property developer Marcel Bach.
