How to Make Your Ski Holiday More Eco-Friendly

There are lots of small changes you can make that add up to a big difference:

Before booking:

• Choose coach travel, shared transfers, or self-drive instead of flying.

• Look for eco-certified or “green” resorts (e.g. Flocon Vert in France).

Before you go:

• Borrow or buy second-hand ski clothes/gear. Renting is a great option, especially for kids.

• Pack light and bring a reusable water bottle.

• Support sustainable brands that use recycled or durable materials.

On holiday:

• Rent equipment instead of buying new.

• Repair or recycle damaged kit rather than binning it.

• Shop local to cut down on transport emissions.

• Recycle rubbish and choose zero-waste snacks.

• Opt for eco-friendly ski wax if using it.

• Turn heating down a degree or two and reuse towels/linen where possible.

Extra tip: buying pre-worn kit or donating yours when you’re done keeps items in use for longer and helps reduce landfill.
