In the French ski resort of La Clusaz in the east of France, several snow cannons have been rendered useless by vandalism. The authorities suspect a sabotage action by climate activists.
At the end of December, three snow cannons were damaged in the Les Gets ski area in the region. “No ski without snow” was spray-painted in red on the guns. As the newspaper “Le Parisien” reported, some winter sports resorts are dependent on artificial snow due to the mild weather.
Similar damage also in Switzerland
Around the turn of the year, about half of the French ski slopes were closed. A few days ago, snow cannons were destroyed in the ski resort of Vervier in Switzerland, the newspaper reports.
In La Clusaz, demonstrations have been going on for months against a huge water reservoir, which is intended, among other things, to facilitate the production of artificial snow. So far no one has claimed responsibility and the police have launched an investigation.
