The once-popular ski runs of Dent-de-Vaulion in the Swiss Jura Mountains are now deserted as unusually mild weather has driven away winter sport enthusiasts and forced ski resorts to close across the country.

Lift pylons stand alone in rocky terrain where cheerful crowds once puffed steam in frigid temperatures.
