An initiative that’s taking shape

For several years now, Val d'Isère Téléphériques has implemented various initiatives to continue to grow its business sustainably.

These initiatives include the transition from shuttle buses to electric vehicles; with 100% of the Valbus fleet being electrically powered by 2026.

A fleet of buses that will soon be 100% electrically powered

In December 2021, electric shuttlebus trials carried out on the red train line proved to be highly successful.

A year later, at the start of the 2022-2023 winter season, two new electric shuttles were introduced on the Red Train line.

As well as being much quieter, the battery capacity of these shuttles allows Valbus drivers to operate this route all day long, retaining around 50% power even in periods of extreme cold..

After both a winter season and a summer season operating on the Red Train line, Val d'Isère Téléphériques bought 4 new electric shuttles for winter 2023-2024.

You will find them on the Yellow Train line (from the rondpoint des pistes to Le Manchet), on the Blue Train (from the rondpoint des pistes to Club Med) and on the Red Train from November 30th 2024.

A more environmentally friendly fuel

In December 2022, Val d'Isère’s entire fleet of shuttles switched to a new fuel, known as HVO.

Comprised of waste and vegetable oils, this greener fuel has enabled a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions.

All Valbus shuttles (excluding electric shuttles), as well as all the Régie des pistes (ski area maintenance company) and Val d'Isère Téléphériques (ski lift company) piste grooming equipment (31 piste grooming machines in winter 2023-2024) run on this more environmentally friendly fuel.
