About us

STA SA – A general contractor serving the mountain industries

Originally established to manufacture ski lifts for Téléverbier SA, our company now specialises in metal construction, industrial mechanics, ski lift maintenance and vehicle servicing – whilst retaining the expertise that has defined us since our inception.
