Low-Carbon Ski Holidays
We are passionate about the mountains and we know you are too. We have a fantastic range of sustainable ski holiday choices, get in touch to find out more.
Low-Carbon Ski Holidays
We love skiing and we feel passionately about the mountains. The environmental impact of travel is undeniable but we want, and need, to protect our playground. The good news is there are things we can do to make sure our winter holiday has less of an impact on the planet, and we want to take some positive steps to provide our clients with options to take the greener choice. We’re helping to drive the switch to sustainable travel.
We’ve spent a lot of time selecting the right partners to help us do this and are proud to be working with Protect Our Winters (POW), Mossy Earth and Save Our Snow. From selecting an eco-friendly hotel to choosing a ski resort with environmentally friendly initiatives, travelling by train or driving to the Alps, we’ve tried to make it easier for you to make the greener choice.
All of our ski packages are ABTA and ATOL protected. Contact our experts and book one of our ski holidays today.

Low Carbon Ski Resorts
We’ve partnered with Patrick Thorne, founder of SaveOurSnow, to put together a list of the sustainable initiatives in place in our resorts. We’ve tried to clearly state exactly what each resort is doing to minimise their environmental impact. Initiatives include on-site solar, wind and hydro power plants.
