Sustainable development of the Peyragudes ski resort
THE PEYRAGUDES ski resort EMBRACES MODERNITY BY COMBINING TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
Since 22 January, the resort has been using a hybrid groomer to groom its slopes. In addition to being easy to drive, this groomer considerably reduces its CO2 emissions, it does not make as much noise as a classic groomer… Everything is there!
This groomer, powered by a 6-cylinder Mercedes 12.8-litre engine with 400 horsepower, reduces fuel consumption while eliminating the risks associated with hydraulic transmission systems and possible pollution caused by oil leaks. Very technical terms, but good to know! All this reduces fuel consumption by 20 to 25%, and in the world we live in, that’s not insignificant!
The resort has not finished with modernity, it even has a new cable car!
