Winter Holidays for the Environmentally Conscious Holiday Maker
Hundreds of avid snowboarders will soon be searching for their ski trousers and darting away in search of the biggest snowfall.
And without doubt the results from our carbon footprint will be virtually as far down the list of vacation to dos as a xmas cracker after the Christmas holidays.
Merely last year, a sluggish snow hit the tabloids and holidaymakers were panicky about the bits of snow melting almost as soon as they landed.
Snowboarding organisation Chalet1802, placed at the foot of Monte Bianco in the Alps, is one of the only autonomous firms to go carbon neutral and afford snowboarders an environmentally friendly choice while reserving their skiing holidays.
Chalet1802 founder Gregson stated: Last season was a bit of a shock with the warmest winter in sixty years in Europe. It was temperate and the snow didn’t last so much of the early winter skiing season in the mountains was uneven. We resolved to go carbon neutral to help preserve the snowboarding resort.
Gregson said: We’re not assaying to prescribe to guests but I feel it’s valuable to afford the clients the choice without increasing the price of the stay. When the guest book with us they may further off-set their carbon output and we soak up the additional prices. Of course we still have a sauna and a hot tub - holiday makers want luxury but not at the expense of the surroundings, so we looked at means of decreasing the affect of someone driving over here for a ski holiday.”
