The circular mindset
There are several parts of a mountain holiday that involve resources that can be re-used. For us, reuse and rental have long been a natural part of our business.
We rent out lodging, ski and bike equipment and repair skis and bikes in our workshops.
Rental - a way to recycle
For a long time now we have been providing lodgings where we offer owners a chance to rent out their lodgings through us at SkiStar. This increases the use of the beds that are already available at our destinations and reduces the need for new construction.
We also offer rental of ski and bike equipment through SkiStarshop. As well as reducing over-consumption, rentals are a way to test whether a product is right before buying a new one. It also allows us to work together to reduce the amount of products not in use.
Renting a ski package instead of buying results in 11.5 kg less emissions. SkiStar rented out 365,000 (350,000) ski packages during 2023/24, a total equivalent to 4,170 (4,000) tonnes of reduced emissions.
