So you have booked your sustainably delivered Skiology holiday. Now perhaps you are looking for how else you can reduce your carbon footprint further? Travelling to the Alps by train will be the single biggest reduction in your ski holiday’s carbon emissions. To say a big thank you to guests choosing to travel by train, will have a little thank you awaiting you when you arrive at your chalet!
We’re proud to be part of the AlpinExpress Pass; a new initiative incentivising train travel to our valley, because reducing emissions is crucial to saving our Alpine environment. We’re part of a group of businesses offering discounts to anyone who travels to us via train this year, so our customers can save money, emissions and the mountains!
Temperatures in the Alps have risen at almost twice the global average and even if we’re tired of hearing about it, climate change is the biggest challenge of our time.
The majority of emissions from tourism comes from travel, in particular from flying, so if we can do something to change that we can make a real difference. We are determined to help you change the way you travel.
Montagne Verte are an environmental non-profit based in Morzine who aim to provide sustainable solutions to preserve the alpine environment.
