In a decisive local referendum, the residents of Val d'Allos-Le Seignus in the French Alps chose to permanently close their ski runs amid growing concerns over unreliable snow conditions attributed to climate change. This move follows a trend of other lower-altitude ski resorts in France struggling to remain profitable, leading to rising deficits. The town, comprised of both permanent and seasonal residents, faced tough financial decisions and ultimately opted to end skiing entirely rather than impose significant tax hikes. Climate-driven changes in snowfall patterns have led to a pronounced impact on the ski industry in these regions.
The residents of Allos in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence voted to end skiing at Val d'Allos-Le Seignus due to increasingly unreliable snow and financial losses.
Warming temperatures due to the climate crisis mean that France's lower-altitude resorts can no longer guarantee snow during the ski season.
