ECO INITIATIVES
Following a universal call-out for environmental change amongst the global warming crisis , Val d ’ Isère has made several commitments to limit its impact . For this season the 39 slope groomers will be powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil ( HVO ) fuel , aligning with Compagnie des Alpes ’ commitments . HVO is 100 % renewable and reduces CO2 emissions by 90 % and fine particle emissions by 65 %. This season also sees the introduction of two electric buses which will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the service by 90 %, with the rest of the bus service moving to HVO biofuel . By 2025 Val d ’ Isère aims to have 15 electric buses running between the village and its surrounding hamlets .
The Val d ’ Isère Winter Season opens on the 26th November .
Early-bird lift pass , from 26th November to 16th December 2022 . Day passes start from € 52 .
