French Study Greenhouse Gases In Ski Resorts
The French ski resort industry has set up a new committee organized by the Association Nationale des Maires de stations de Montagne” (ANMSM / National association of mountain village mayors) and the French A.D.E.M.E (environmental agency).
On the recommendation of the environmental body, Mountain Riders, nine of the country’s leading 101 ski areas, including the glacier ski area of Les 2 Alpes, are currently participating in a comprehensive environmental study which aims to measure carbon levels in the resorts.
The objective is to complete the study by this autumn and put in to place a 10 year action plan to reduce carbon emissions in the country’s ski areas.
The project also plans to implement an environmental award or “label”, similar to those already in place for France’s coastal resorts. This will feature a white label for the winter season and a green label for the summer. The two labels were registered and commercially protected more than a year ago.
