S3V, the Ski Area Management and Lift Company for Courchevel, La Tania and Méribel Mottaret has won a Green Initiative Award at Les Trophées de la Montagne 2018.
In Partnership with IRSTEA (The National Institute for Research in Science and Technology for the Environments and Agriculture) the re-seeding of new piste areas using locally sourced seed mixes to protect the soil erosion and to promote biodiversity has been recognised.
In addition local seeds are more resistant to climatic conditions and altitude when re-vegetation work takes place.
Re-seeding work above Courchevel Moriond 1650 last Summer:
