During the 12-minute journey, the old man, 1.80 meters tall and weighing more than 100 kilograms, broke the plexiglass glass and fell down.
Speaking to The Independent, French police said that the drunk man ran towards the windows of the cabin to have fun, and the glass was broken because of this.
The prosecution confirmed the report after the crime scene investigation.
Research by insurance firm Direct Line in 2019 suggested that more than a thousand Britons a day were injured after consuming alcohol on ski holidays, and 3.8 million people had reported alcohol-related injuries on the slopes in the previous five years.
