Tarentaise ski monopoly imposes “roaming charges”

The Espace Olympique comprises the ski resorts that participated in the 1992 Albertville games. One of the advantages of the Espace to users was that holders of 6 day or more passes could try out some of the other domains. The rules were never entirely clear but if you had your lift pass and receipt and had some wheels you could be centrally based and ski around the other areas searching for the best snow and off-piste. We’ve used the pass when skiing with guides to do a virtual safari of the area.
