Courmayeur

  • Located in the North West corner of Italy.
  • There are 31 different ski lifts.
  • There are many different shops / restaurants / bars - in resort area which cause visual pollution.
  • Young people don't have to go away to find work but can become ski instructors or work in shops and hotels.
  • Deforestation of slopes so skiers don't bump into trees means the snow gets thinner and then skiers have to climb up the slope higher - causing more erosion to the slope.
  • Acid rain (which is caused by traffic pollution) kills plants.
  • There is seasonal unemployment as most jobs are limited to the one season.
  • Farmers and forestry workers have lost jobs when their land is sold for ski slopes.
  • Traditional ways of life have changed.
  • Seasonal unemployment problem is being resolved by creating a summer resort with specialist holidays e.g. mountain walking / biking.
