A terrace with all the charm of a ski resort

Crystal Group brought the mountain to the first floor of the Eiffel Tower! From 21 December to 27 January, the terrace was transformed into a relaxation and entertainment space in the style of a ski resort. Real gondolas and a vintage chairlift invited visitors to pose in mini private areas. A magnificent dome spanning more than 40 m2 allowed them to enjoy virtual-reality winter sports experiences.
