 Poster: A snowHead
|
This post appeared on one of on the Weather Outlook Thread and it got me wondering how many there are still and how many there were in the heyday of Summer skiing in the 70’s and 80s .
Post by @whitegold below
France had a huge 13 summer ski resorts between the 1950s and 2010s.
Tignes
Val d'Isere
Les 2 Alpes
La Grave
La Plagne
Alpe d'Huez
Les Arcs
Serve Chevalier (CdG)
Val Thorens
Chamonix
Bramans
Maupas
Luchonnais
I obviously have heard of most but some I haven’t . I can’t remember one at Les Arcs presumably a drag on the Aiguille Rouge Glacier , but do remember the small area in La Plagne and the two small ones in Val T .
Would love to see some archive pics .

@Rob Mackley, Les Deux Alpes and La Grave still open in the summer, LG just for race training.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Bramans seems to top out at 1800m so how the heck did that ever open in the summer?

@kitenski, Just taken a look , looks like there was an old glacier on the Colle del Sommeiller above which had some form of road access .
