If you come skiing with us this winter, you may notice something new... or rather, a breath of fresh air! Since this summer, a new national law has classified ski areas as smoke-free zones. Don't panic: we'll explain why, how, and what this means for you.
This measure is part of the national "Tobacco-Free Generation" plan, enshrined in the decree of 27 June 2025. The aim? To protect everyone's health, especially that of young people, and to make our natural spaces even more pleasant to enjoy.
Like beaches, parks, gardens and stadium surroundings, ski slopes, queues and ski lifts are now affected. This national rule applies in all ski areas in France.
Smoking is prohibited:
on the slopes,
in lift queues,
on all ski lifts, including chairlifts.
Ultimately, this change is part of an overall desire to make the mountains even more beautiful, healthier and more enjoyable for everyone.
Imagine slopes without cigarette butts, smoke-free queues and the pure air of the peaks intact... It almost makes you want to take a deep breath, doesn't it?
