We know that a ski trip has an impact on the mountains and the environment. Traveling, lodging, eating, using equipment or infrastructure—all of these activities generate emissions.
A study conducted by Utopies and Air Coop provides a better understanding of where these emissions come from: a day of skiing generates an average of 48.9 kg of CO₂ per person, 52% of which is attributable to transportation.
So rather than looking the other way, we prefer to take action where the impact is greatest.
Thanks to the Bourg-Saint-Maurice train station, rail connections from several major French and European cities, and the 100% electric funicular, we have concrete solutions for reducing our travel-related carbon footprint.
And these solutions are already widely used: 25% of our winter vacationers arrive by train, and the funicular carried nearly one million passengers in 2025.
Transportation, energy, resources, biodiversity, cultural heritage… Understanding our environmental footprint allows us to focus our efforts where they really matter and to gradually transform our model.
