Question 1166 — mountain

Summary

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the situation of the Météo France Mountain Center in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and its future. Indeed, following retirements, there has been no replacement of agents, which suggests an imminent disappearance of this center. The MP recalls the essential role that the center of Bourg-Saint-Maurice plays in the good progress of the winter season in mountain resorts. The temperature, wind and precipitation determine the daily opening of the ski lifts, the use of artificial snow and the opening of the slopes. In addition, good weather information makes it possible to better understand road traffic, which can amount to 30,000 vehicles on certain days, on roads subject to avalanche risks and ranging from 300 to 2,300. meters of altitude. Only the presence of a snow specialist and a mountain forecaster, near the ski areas, allows reliable and precise expertise, in order to best assess the risks and inform local decision-makers. With 650,000 tourist beds, Savoie could under no circumstances support the elimination of such a service. Also, he hopes that the ministry will confirm the maintenance of the Météo France Mountain Center Bourg-Saint-Maurice, with the means essential to its proper functioning.
