Abstract

La Chapelle is a small ski resort in the northern Alps, France. This paper explores the tourist activities offer diversification in mid-altitude mountain areas. The results show that: 1) despite the low altitude ski area (1000-1800 m), the commune’s policy is still heavily in favour of skiing; 2) Summer activities appear to be primarily developed by the ski lift group (mountain biking, devalkart, rollerherbe... thereby creating the need for ski lifts during the summer) rather than local public policy makers. Agritourism, rural and cultural activities appear neglected.
