The climate crisis is reshaping the ski industry in France, as lower-altitude resorts struggle with a lack of reliable snow due to rising temperatures.
In the past decades, ski resorts in France have seen alarming closures, with 180 resorts shuttered since the 1970s due to diminishing snowfall.
This week, two resorts, Alpe du Grand Serre and Grand Puy, announced permanent closures, highlighting the ongoing struggle faced by many low-altitude ski locations.
Climate change predictions for French mountains indicate an average annual loss of 20 kg of snow per square meter, particularly severe in the southern Alps.
