France has many interesting ski resorts due to the Alps, but the most interesting is their lowest lying ski resort in the ski center of Nœux-les-Mines, 600 kilometers from the first hills, which lies at an altitude of 129 meters above sea level and winds its way down a hill of waste ore (located in a former mining area ). It is the first ski resort of its kind in Europe, but it has another special feature. It does not need snow, as it is skied on a plastic carpet.
