La Sambuy, a family skiing destination in the French Alps, is the latest winter sports resort to permanently close because global warming has shrunk its ski season to just a few weeks.
Winter is coming. And for yet another ski resort in France, that means facing up to the reality that there isn’t enough snow to carry on. La Sambuy, a town which runs a family skiing destination near Mont Blanc in the French Alps, has decided to dismantle its ski lifts because global warming has shrunk its ski season to just a few weeks, meaning it’s no longer profitable to keep them open.
“Thank you all for this last summer season 2023, and for all the wonderful years spent by your side,” it said. Snow supply risk La Sambuy is not the only French ski resort facing a meltdown. Last year, Saint-Firmin, another small Alpine ski destination, opted to remove its ski lift after seeing its winter season dwindle from months to weeks, a situation also blamed on climate change.
