The climate conditions our working environment and is also one of the pillars on which our activity is based.
For all these reasons, S3V experiments, studies, innovates and acts through actions on cross-cutting themes linking Climate, Energy and Environment.
In addition to the women and men of the company, Energy is one of the driving forces that allows us to operate our business. For this reason, S3V is committed to the energy transition cycle with a desire to bring out renewable energies and implement energy-saving actions.
01
Working towards local and sustainable energy
Our ski resort operations are very energy-intensive. S3V's projected electricity consumption for 2025 is around 21,000 MWh, equivalent to the consumption of 5,200 French households (source: EDF). We therefore pay close attention to the source of our electricity and have been exploring options for the past three years…

Monitoring and control of electricity and fuel consumption
Electricity The operation of a ski area consumes electrical energy. In order to implement savings actions, it is necessary to know precisely the consumption items in order to target the measures to be implemented. S3V has been investing for 3 years in the installation of sub-meters on its installations (ski lifts, production installations, etc.)

ClimSnow study
S3V launched a CLIMSNOW study at the beginning of 2024, carried out by Météo France, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAe) and ABEST Horizon using current and future weather data, taking into account local weather data and projections from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

Permafrost study
In order to better understand the distribution of permafrost in the Courchevel and Méribel-Mottaret ski areas, S3V has launched a specific study on this new natural risk. This study is led by DOPA, which is supported by a geotechnical engineering firm: SAGE INGENIERIE. The first results are expected in autumn 2024. Why a study…
