Eco initiatives have always been pretty high on the agenda in Les
Gets and the resort has won numerous awards over the years for its green
policies and currently has ISO 14001 certification for its
environmental practises. This winter the Les Gets lift operating company
SAGETS will become the first ski lift company in France to operate
using 100% renewable energy sources.
The CEO of SAGETS, Henry Anthonioz told us “Our customers are very
attached to our mountains, so we have no hesitation in subscribing to
the EDF balance that ensures the provision of all our electricity from
green energy.” He added “We are delighted to be pioneers in this field
and we hope it may encourage other stations to follow us.”
The green energy used to power the Les Gets lift network this winter
will come from a variety of sources including wind, solar, thermal,
geothermal, biomass, hydro, marine and waste. Les Gets’ eco policies
already include policies to reduce energy consumption, encouraging
carpooling, burying power lines and the use of bio-degradable oils.bio-degradable oils.
