Number of ski resorts in operation in France 1930-2019
The number of ski resorts in operation in 2019 was at 416. There has been a slow decline in the number of resorts open since 1990.
While the number of resorts has increased steadily since 1930, reaching a peak in 1990 with over 500 resorts in operation, many resorts have had to close since then. These closures are caused by the increasing lack of snow cover in small and medium mountain resorts.
