Sustainability Initiatives
✓ Energy Efficiency: Pods require ~30% less energy for heating/cooling, using wood-burning stoves and petrol lamps
✓ Renewable Energy: Hydroelectric power from local springs supplies electricity; chalets are energy self-sufficient
✓ Water Conservation: Low-flow fixtures and locally sourced spring water to minimize water usage
✓ Waste Management: Active recycling programs, composting of organic waste, and minimal packaging
✓ Sustainable Architecture: Pods built with minimal material impact, mounted on wooden platforms to preserve land
✓ Local Sourcing & Community Engagement: Ingredients from nearby suppliers; local staff minimise commuting emissions
✓ Limited Motorised Transport: Resort restricts motorized vehicles; guests walk or snowshoe to their pods
✓ Educational Initiatives: Eco-awareness activities for guests, promoting responsible travel and environmental stewardship
