Sustainable Tourism
Here are SkiClass we recognise our responsibility as a school tour operator to consider the environment, economy and cultures and our destinations. We aim to minimise our negative impacts and enhance our destinations in the best way that we can.
SkiClass makes sure your ski tour is really special. Protecting the environment and supporting the communities in our resorts are of top priority to us.
Consider your Travel Options
However you chose to travel you can make decisions on how you reach your destination. It is possible to travel by train or eurotunnel -which will significantly reduce the levels of carbon used. Surprisingly travelling by coach uses less carbon than taking a Plane or Train.
Your Carbon Use
At SkiClass we recommend that which ever travel option you choose you use a carbon calculator to establish how much carbon you use. You can easily calculate this by using carbon calculators online.
