Tourism Hirmentaz

In 1963 under the leadership of Mayor Bellevaux of the time, Armand Felisaz, 37 inhabitants of the town (artisans and farmer) unite their economies and their efforst (each brought 50 000 F at the time) to found the SESAT ( sports equipment company and management of ski lift). They choose the pasture of Hirmentaz for ease of accessibility.

To install the first ski lift, one of La Plagne, partners provide themselves the work of civil engineering. But bad luck, the snow is not the appointment and the opening is on the grass.

For 10 years, about one lift per year is inaugurated. In the 1970s there was talk of a link by chairlift (2 800 m) between the capital and Hirmentaz. But the project never saw the day.

In 2000 an artificial lake built for water storage of snow cannons.

In early winter 2008, a former chair lift installed in 1977 is given in Kyrgyzstan.He is replaced by a new chairlift faster.
