Les Gets’ electric skibus

Les Gets, Portes du Soleil, reports that their first season using an all-electric ski bus resulted in 18 tonnes less CO2 being emitted in to the atmosphere.

The new bus service is operated by Tourisme Gavot, thanks to the efforts of their president , Mr Chevallay, who have operated in the resort for 14 years.

The company is working in partnership with BE Green who have supplied 50 seater fully electric vehicles which also offer access for people with reduced mobility.

The ski shuttle bus was operated seven days a week for five months from December to April on a loop of 120km without any air or noise pollution, serving all strategic points around Les Gets.

“Through our initiative, we want to convince our elected officials that the future of skiing is clean public transport," said Mr Chevallay.
