New | Les Saisies, winners of the Eco-friendly Snow Grooming Challenge 2016 The aim? To optimize the production of artificial snow, to make the right amount of snow and therefore avoid wasting energy and water. Michel Frison-Roche, the Director of the management company hopes to prove within four years, that it is profitable to invest in a snow-grooming optimization programme resulting in a significant positive impact on the environment. The resort was rewarded for its project to merge two computer interfaces, artificial snow production and snow-grooming. The management company in Les Saisies advocates better communication between these two very different services, one working throughout the day, the other throughout the night.

New | Snow for the Tour de France! Unbelievable: Franck Piccard skiing on real snow during the passage of theTour de France in Les Saisies on 22nd July 2016! Proof that the resort challenge is underway to ensure optimal snow conditions through a new unique snow storage process. For the 2018 season, an 800 to 1000 m circuit will be created in the biathlon area using a method based on a mix of sawdust. The snow remaining at the end of the season, together with a certain amount of artificial snow on site, will be covered in sawdust to protect it from the outdoor elements and insulate it from the air and the sun.

30 new snowmakers This winter the resort improves its artificial snowmaking network by adding 30 new snowmakers to the ski area. Particular attention is being paid to the “Chevreuils” slope, due to benefit from 20 new snowmakers. These new technology snowmakers contribute to the control and limitation of the resort’s energy consumption and carbon footprint.
