About the location (from here):
To make snowy peaks of Himachal Pradesh more easily accessible to tourists, a multi-million ropeway-cum-ski project at the picturesque Solang Valley near Manali was inaugurated. It was the first such project in the state to promote skiing. Set up with an investment of Rs.36 crore, the project was a joint initiative between the state tourism department and a private company Ski Himalayas Ropeway Pvt Ltd. It was commissioned under build, own, operate, transfer (BOOT) basis by the state government. The skiing project has boosted tourism potential in the area. The Solang slopes, 13 km from Manali, in Kullu district are known across the globe for skiing. The Slopes offer challenging run to both beginners and advanced skiers and are of international standards. The ropeway project is a state-of-the-art gondola system built with European technology. It caters to the needs of the tourists both during the summer and winter.
