The only \u201cdisappointment\u201d was the winter holidays, impacted by an unfavorable school calendar and two weeks of bad weather. The occupancy rate of tourist accommodation increased by 2 points compared to the same period last year, standing at 73%, according to data from the National Observatory of Mountain Stations.<\/p>\n<p>The operator organization Domaines skiables de France notes a 1% increase in its main \u201cskier days\u201d indicator. This attendance \u201cremains very sustained\u201d, despite strong disparities depending on altitude, according to its president Anne Marty. Nordic activities also posted a 2% increase in turnover over the season, according to the Nordic France organization.<\/p>\n<h2>Concerns about political and geopolitical situations<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cOur model is resilient and the ski carries our model. And skiing is the only sport in the world that supports an entire economy,\u201d added Anne Marty. However, \u201cwe are affected by what is happening in our country and by what is happening in the global economy. (\u2026) The global geopolitical situation and the political situation in our country do not encourage total euphoria either,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to investments, everyone is in a somewhat uncertain situation and future,\u201d adds J\u00e9r\u00f4me Camps of the Union of Sport and Cycle Companies. In a sports sector which frequently offers new products, operating costs \u201cgo faster than the increase in turnover\u201d and result in \u201ca loss of profitability\u201d, he laments.<\/p>\n<p>Our file on the mountain<\/p>\n<p>And certain small or medium-sized resorts remain in a vulnerable position such as Roc d&#8217;Enfer (Haute-Savoie), Alpe du Grand Serre in Is\u00e8re or the small associative resort of Les Egaux in Chartreuse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2024, the Court of Auditors warned of a model \u201crunning out of steam\u201d.
