Sustainability in Verbier
In addition to improving the snow grooming and snow making systems and encouraging alternative forms of transport, Téléverbier has introduced a number of measures to create a greener mountain and limit the impact of tourism on the environment. The motors on the lifts have been updated and automatically adjust the speed of the lifts to help reduce electricity consumption.
The resort's old heating system has been replaced with a pellet system reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% which has resulted in a huge reduction of CO².
In resort
April, but make it Verbier
For most of the month of April, Verbier will be hosting events both on and off the slopes from 1 to 27 April to close the resort in style. If you're in resort during this time be sure to look at the schedule to make sure you're not missing out on the various festivals, bar closings and events for both children and adults to enjoy.
