3V 1980s piste map Cote Brun
Does anyone have a 1980s piste map for the 3V ? I cannot find mine. I would be very grateful if someone could send to me a digiphoto or a scan of this map because I cannot find mine. With thanks funkraum( )hotmail.com On a historical note anyone know when the first ski lift was put in the 3V ? If I remember my aulde folklore rightly, it was Meribel which was developed first, but sometime in the 1960s. Then Courcheval figured that if Meribel could do it, then they could too. Val Thorens must have been developed in the late 1960s after Stalin faked his own death and ran away to the France to start a new life as an architect. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Wikipedia says: History[edit] Méribel Les Allues is a ski resort that was developed adjacent to the traditional hamlet of Morel, with its centre situated at about 1400 metres above sea level.[1] It was founded by a Scotsman, Colonel Peter Lindsay,[2] who was looking for a new site for winter sports away from the ski resorts of Austria and Germany, because of the growing strength of the Nazi regime. In 1936, he visited the town of Les Allues for the first time. He then imagined how the town could become a ski resort. Firstly, he decided to create a property company in order to develop finances strong enough to build the resort. In 1938, the first lift was placed above Les Allues. A year later, he began the construction of the first chalets and hotels in the hamlet of Méribel. Three years later, the war would stop the development of the resort, but when it was over, development continued. Lindsay used specialized architects, Paul Grillo, Grand Prix de Rome (1937), and his partner Christian Durupt, so that all buildings would be in harmony with the Savoyard style. For this to be realised, wood and stone must be used for the walls, with slanted slate roofs. In 1950, the Burgin-Saulire gondola was built to link the resort to Courchevel. Lindsay's family continue to hold a financial stake in the resort, and his grandchildren still ski in the resort to this day. Lindsay's ashes and those of his wife are scattered on the Burgin mountain. |
