A Green Globe certified resort
Le Grand Massif is the first resort in the world to be awarded Green Globe certification for its slopes, lifts and ancillary services.
This certification is awarded when the resort complies with certain principles approved by around a hundred governments, as part of a programme covering 40 themes. The emphasis is on supporting the local economy and protecting the environment through sustainable development. A follow-up audit is carried out every two years to reassess the resort's commitments.
The Domaine du Grand Massif is involved in a number of initiatives, such as the monitoring of biodiversity over an area of 1,400 hectares and the promotion of the local economy with the creation of the "Origine Grand Massif" label in 2014. A series of measures have also been taken to reduce the impact on the environment, including the removal of old infrastructure, the distribution of pocket ashtrays to all holidaymakers, the installation of waste bins at ski lifts, the introduction of selective sorting on the slopes, the use of organic oils for snow groomers, etc.
Educational activities are also carried out to raise awareness of the local fauna. These actions contribute to the preservation of the environment and benefit everyone, residents and tourists alike.
