Bruno Cottave (C), from the Nouvelles traces en Chartreuse association, trains local volunteers at the Planolet ski lifts in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse on December 7, 2024, in order to open the ski slopes of this small family ski resort for the 2024-2025 season. At a time when ski resorts are having to deal with the effects of global warming, Le Planolet, which is linked to Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, is facing increasingly uncertain snow conditions and a reduced ski season, the association, 'Nouvelles traces en Chartreuse', has been given the management of the Planolet ski lifts under a five-year public service contract, for reasons of operational flexibility.
