Charleroi’s Savoyard outgrowth will soon be of ancient history

There were also sometimes a few small press trips without specific goal, except that of making the “bruising”, organized on site by the communal college of Charleroi, from the time when the socialists were all-powerful. Meanwhile, The borders of the independence of powers were often crossed … Therefore, Young journalists arrived there. Consequently, surprised by what they were invited to do on the spot: skiing or having a drink in the only cafe. Furthermore, It was before the famous “business” of the early 2000s. Consequently, These cases have passed by. However, and no longer resonated in the chalet the cries heard some nights a little too watered: “Despi torse no, Despi torse no … Consequently, “. Consequently, The story does not tell if the alderman of the time Claude Despiegeleer. Additionally, Consequently, then heled by his nickname, charleroi’s savoyard outgrowth will soon was easily executed.

If we talk about this place in the past, it is because the site will be sold. The latest snow classes will take place between January. April 2026, perhaps without snow, perhaps with it, but they will in any case be the last.

Elsewhere. at affordable prices – Charleroi's savoyard outgrowth will soon

The city has indeed decided to sell the premises. Faced with significant savings measures. Charleroi can no longer afford to maintain such a place for which the charges are increasingly high. Carolos municipal finances are in trouble. weighed up among others, like other major cities, by the weight of the pensions of statutory agents, and perhaps by the management of the past. The city also had to find a new manager for the site. In short. everything was complicated on the charleroi’s savoyard outgrowth will soon heights of Savoy, and the decision to separate from the property had become essential.

Regularly. the Walloon government has lent money to major asphyxiated cities, but the new Walloon majority (MR-LES HANGED) has now decided to match these aid, via the oxygen plan, of drastic savings. It is therefore necessary to recover means. and Marcinelle in the mountains will pay the price; He will soon be an old memory.

The city nevertheless guarantees that other formulas will be found to allow young Carolos to live some similar experiences. The alderman of teaching, Julie Patte (PS), is now working to find places that can accommodate young people after 2026. And all this at affordable prices, to allow as many schoolchildren as possible to enjoy such stays. The question of winter sports organized by the municipality. however, questions elected officials: is it still useful to send young people charleroi’s savoyard outgrowth will soon to learn to ski while stays are increasingly expensive and the weight of global warming questions the future of winter sports?

For future green classes. the Dépédément Center located in Marcinelle (the real one this time) will be increasingly adapted to such stays; It will therefore no longer be necessary to leave beyond borders.

Sixty years ago

In the meantime, the story of “Marcinelle en Montagne” alone recalls major events that have marked Hainaut. It began in the late 1950s, just after the terrible catastrophe of Cazier wood where many minors lost their lives. In such a context. Lucien Harmegnies, the new mayor of Marcinelle – we are a little less than twenty years before the merger of the municipalities which will see Marcinelle join Charleroi – decides to send young people to the mountains. Gradually. the purchase of land and the construction of several charleroi’s savoyard outgrowth will soon chalets will be able to give the site its current look. With the sale of “Marcinelle en Montagne” encouraged by the financial difficulties. we are now far from the auspicious period when a town could carry out this kind of project … This farewell to Savoy signs the end of an era well.
