Discussions are taking place between the management of the CMA group and the three municipalities of the Haut-Plateau. In the short term, Lens, Icogne and Crans-Montana might take over management of the ski lifts. The Czech billionaire Radovan Vitek would remain the owner of the installations which would be rented “for 25 to 30 years”, according to Philippe Magistretti, president of the CMA group who reveals the existence of these negotiations on the set of Canal9. Asked regarding the possibility of a sale, Philippe Magistretti did not close the door: “It would be a considerable amount, given the sums invested in the estate by Radovan Vitek. At 70 million, I would advise him to enter into the matter.
Contacted, the presidents of Lens and Crans-Montana do not comment until the file has been presented to their respective Councils.
