Located next to the entry of the ski lift with the same name, several generations of skiers have passed under the branches of this tree until November 11, 2000 date when, the oak had reached its age limit and had to be taken down, aged 700 years !
A new tree replaced the old one that same day, on the day of remembrance of all armed conflicts, making oak the "tree of peace" for the next millennium.
