Eco-friendly Ski Accommodation
We’ve created a list of properties that are genuinely trying to operate with little or no CO2 emissions. These properties have a whole range of initiatives to generate zero-CO2 power, whilst in most cases also installing exceptional insulation to minimise their energy needs in the first place. Some of the initiatives employed include ground source heat pumps, solar panels, mini-wind turbines and even an ice battery. Take a look at our eco-friendly accommodation options for your ski holiday this winter. We can also help you choose an eco-friendly ski resort and book train travel options too
