Val d'Isère - Tignes is the largest ski area in the world to receive Green Globe International Standard for Sustainable Tourism certification for their ongoing environmental and conservation efforts. The certification is the only official label for sustainable development and social responsibility awarded to businesses in the tourist industry, and applies across the entire sector. In 2016 Val d’Isère Téléphériques ski lift company decides to combine all of its commitments into one RSE (Social and Environmental Responsibility) pledge, validated by Green Globe.
Val d'Isere is one of the few places to offer summer skiing in the Alps, and their summer season is currently underway. Thanks to the Pissaillas glacier (known as the Val d'Isère glacier) summer skiing in Val d'Isere is possible. The snow coverage on the glacier is helped by a number of snow canons and the ski area is served by three ski lifts: TK du Montet, TK Cote 3000 and the Cascade Express. The Val d'Isere summer ski season is quite short so check the lift schedule for full details.
