Q1: Would you expect to find farmhouses in a ski resort?

[Answer]

The skiing season lasts longer on the highest mountains.

In the past no one would have lived in these high places. But when skiing became popular there was a need for somewhere to stay.

As a result, ski resorts were built to do just one job: to provide hotels, shops and entertainment for skiers.
