Arc 1950 is also offering an introduction to Biathlon and Nature Orienteering activity sessions.
Alpine areas are now committed to reducing the carbon footprint left by tourists, and visitors to the Austrian province of SalzburgerLand this summer can learn more about playing their part.
SalzburgerLand’s unspoilt landscapes make an inspiring backdrop to the fascinating old city of Salzburg, with all the elements of classic Alpine scenery – snow-capped peaks, ancient forests and spring-fed lakes and streams with water clear enough to drink.
Les 2 Alpes claims it will be the first French resort to open its glacier for summer skiing this year. The slopes can be used from 28 May, the earliest the Isère ski area has ever opened its glacier.
Les 2 Alpes also claims it has Europe’s largest skiable glacier and SATA, the lift company, has been carrying out some work in the snowpark.
