140 Volunteers scouring the slopes of Val d'Isère has removed 300kg of garbage on the resort's annual environment day.
The day was organised by the French Mountain Riders group which has been organising similar clean ups at resorts across the country for the last two decades, as well as leading many other initiatives to promote the cleaner, greener operation of the country's ski areas and cut CO2 emissions.
Among the larger and more unusual finds on the slopes this year were a ski and a fire hydrant. More common items removed included 50 poles and 2000 cigarette butts.
Val d'Isère has a target of achieving the goal of zero wild waste in the mountains by 2030 and a spokesperson said that the fact they're finding less and less rubbish each summer is encouraging.
