Environmental protection of the ski resort Les Sybelles – Le Corbier/La Toussuire/Les Bottières/St Colomban des Villards/St Sorlin/St Jean d’Arves
Les Sybelles takes many small measures to reduce the CO2 footprint of ski operations between La Chal and St Colomban. For example, the snow groomers run on biodiesel and use biodegradable lubricants. On days with low visitor numbers, parallel lifts are switched off. Detachable lifts also run more slowly, and by reducing the speed from 5 m/s to 4 m/s, they use 30% less electricity. The red slopes are groomed only every two to three days, and the black ones only every seven days. This saves energy and thus emissions.
After slope construction work, re-greening is carried out over three years. The realization of the connection over the L’Ouillon was particularly delicate. The routes had to be chosen so that they required only minimal earthworks, and the summit itself was off-limits.
The architecture of the stations Le Corbier and La Toussuire may spark discussions about aesthetics, but it ensures that guests can leave their cars parked for the entire duration of their stay.
