After 2040, which tourist ski resorts in France lack the most snow, attracting attention
The global climate is becoming increasingly unpredictable due to global warming, leading to concerns among readers of the Figaro newspaper about which ski resorts will be affected by lack of snow by 2040. Some ski resorts are already experiencing a decline in snowfall due to milder winters, leading some industry experts and researchers to suggest the need for a new tourism model. France's ski resorts have seen a decrease in average snowfall from the 1970s, and a comparison of snowfall data between 2014 and 2070 shows that some resorts will be more at risk than others. However, resorts situated at high altitudes, such as those above 2450-2700m, are less likely to be affected. The ski industry will need to adapt to a changing climate and develop alternative economic activities to reduce dependence on winter sports.
