Offset the Carbon Footprint of your ski holiday

Ski holiday companies and their guests are becoming increasingly aware of the need to be environmentally friendly.

To help offset carbon emissions caused by flights & transfers, Ski Beat offers a Carbon Offset Service. The price is £1.50 per return flight per person and includes the return transfer from airport to your ski resort. This service is offered in conjunction with the non-profit making Tourism Industry Carbon Offset Service.

Contributions made by Ski Beat clients in seasons 07/08 and 08/09 have funded an Engine Conversion Boat Project in the Lower Danube which is now in its final stages – we are delighted that our funds have already been put to good use and are making a difference. And we are even more delighted to announce that your contributions from next season (09/10) will go to a new project in the Chamonix Valley to replace a diesel generator with a hydro electric power plant.

For more details on the carbon offset service and our other environmental initiatives see our Responsible Tourism section. In October 2008, Ski Beat were awarded AITO`s 4-star Responsible Tourism rating: the best rated AITO ski company (from 29 that offer ski holidays). One factor in this award was the eco-friendly features built into a number of our ski chalets: Chalet Adelphine, Meribel (sleeps 6) and Chalets Pierra Menta 1 (sleeps 8/10) & Pierra Menta 2 (sleeps 14/16), la Plagne. These chalets have zero emission bio-mass heating systems; Adelphine`s water is heated by solar panels and the Pierra Menta chalets use melted snow to provide water where untreated water can be used.
