Plunge into this pool with panoramic views of the mountains.
Perfect for those who love a dollop of mountain views through their goggles, and should be enough to keep any mermaid happy for the snow season.
Tignes, France - For (Indoor) Surfers
Artist Rendering Of The (Potential) Indoor Surf Wave
Superb news for our SurfSistas as Tignes is looking to build an indoor ski slope – with a surf pool that can produce waves of up to 9ft for surfers.
Yet, the proposal has been met with fairly stern opposition from critics. Hervé Billard of the Rhône-Alps Federation for the Protection of Nature, argues the plans will create “a kind of Disneyland theme park…a line has been crossed. It does not respect the mountain.”
If the plans do go ahead in 2018, it’ll make Tignes into the perfect spot for the surfer loath to leave the beach for the long snowy winter seasons.
