Ski holidays don’t have the greenest of reputations but here at Ski Verbier Exclusive, we are making every effort to be more eco-friendly.
Protecting our Winters
Protecting our winters and the mountain environment from the looming climate emergency is obviously very important to us. The northern hemisphere has already lost a million square miles of spring snowpack since 1970. We are therefore taking steps to save our winters by reducing both our carbon footprint and our waste.
Shopping Locally
By sourcing our food locally, not only have we reduced our carbon footprint but we are also buying fresher and tastier ingredients. Using independent suppliers such as the Verbier boucherie, boulangerie, chocolaterie and fromagerie is also helping to support the local economy.
Reducing Single Use Plastic
We no longer use miniature bathroom amenities but have adopted Bamford Organic‘s refillable system . We have also introduced glass jars with cosmetic pads and paper stemmed cotton wool buds, rather than offering individually wrapped items.
Although bottled mineral water is available on request, we serve fresh Alpine water to our chalet guests. Not only do we think it tastes better, but as a result there has been a significant reduction in our waste. Similarly, we have removed the plastic water bottles from our driving service.
