“It is no longer tenable for 112 stations of Savoie and Haute-Savoie which represent two thirds of French skiing and all socio-professionals and employees as well as any the economic chain which depends on it ”, add the co-presidents. “Sacrificed for the Christmas holidays , we refuse to be it for those of February ”, they warn, adding“ it is in front of a defect of ‘proven fairness and an absence of logic that the mountain loses confidence in the government. ”
A reopening on January 7?
The date of January 7 had been brought forward for the reopening of the ski lifts after a videoconference on 20 December between governs ment and elected officials and actors of the mountain. But it could walk away in the face of an increase of virus circulation.
The stations have developed protocols adapted to the health situation and they “have lost until at 85% of their attendance and, along with hotels, cafes and restaurants, are the main victims of the health crisis ”, estimate these mountain stakeholders.
