Despite this weekend’s near-summer mildness, ski resorts still have plenty of snow. However, Isola and Auron close this Sunday and he already ensures that the season will be excellent, above expectations set at the beginning of winter. “It was an atypical season with difficulties with natural snow at the start and landslides in the valley penalizing us. However, we will have a very good season, our best in a very, very long time.“, assured Pascal Lequenne, director of the Auron tourist office at France Bleu Azur this Sunday.
“Increase over last year’s record”
He acknowledges it the final numbers have not yet been determined but”customers were loyal and we had the opportunity to open the Odalys residence, which brought us an increase in customers, especially foreign ones, and this is reflected in the activity of the resort“He says. The Christmas holidays were rich according to him, as were the months of January and March.”This will be an increase over last year, which was our record. We will have very encouraging data for our snow activity“, confirms Pascal Lequenne.
“We close with a lot more snow than we had when we opened.“, he smiles, but it is true that the expectations of vacationers have changed. Tourists are now attracted by the sea at the expense of the Riviera ski areas. “Compared to the number of customers we will have in the coming weeks, it is too expensive for us to keep the station open.“, he concludes.
