Around 57 % of greenhouse gas emissions from any ski resort come from holidaymakers driving their cars to and from the resort. And if you’ve ever tried to drive to a ski resort on a Saturday, you’ll know why!

So if you’re driving, try and make sure your car is as full as possible to avoid CO2 heavy solo journeys, and while in resort, take the bus and walk as much as possible. Most ski towns have a free shuttle bus service to the lifts, and it saves you the hassle of parking!

If you’re flying, try to make it as green as possible by getting the train to the airport, offsetting your carbon emissions and then taking the train, bus or a shared minibus transfer to your chosen destination.

If you’re travelling from the UK to Europe, there are heaps of train options, too. For example, you can now get the train from London to Geneva without having to travel all the way across Paris to change trains. It only takes six hours and there are no pesky baggage restrictions. You can also catch an overnight train to Moutiers or Bourg St. Maurice, which makes it really easy to travel on to most places in the Tarentaise Valley.

If you’re really on a budget and you don’t get car sick, try travelling by coach, it may take longer but it’s way better for the planet and will get you to a larger variety of resorts.
