OUR COMMITMENTS
Biodiversity and sobriety energy.
Biodiversity
Aware of the environment in which we offer our activities, of its beauty and its beauty. but also its great fragility, we launched in 2013 an environmental certification process and have been certified since 2016ISO 14001.
The application of this will This is achieved by taking the environment into account in our way of working, monitoring and then reducing our impact, and being supported by experts in order to refine our issues when we We are not qualified, and to watch over and help our subcontractors when they work on the station.
Our goal is to make this integration a corporate culture and little by little. little we can transmit it to others. all the practitioners who come to frequent our fantastic playgrounds and discovery areas.
We have a few trash cans scattered around the area and encourage you, above all, to dispose of them. get into the habit of taking your waste back to urbanized areas where it is used. sorting spaces are available your disposal.
From winter 2020, a new type of beacons are appearing, they signal the proximity of the city. of a refuge area for protected species that have been destroyed. recorded on the domain.
We want each of these areas to be identifiable to allow us to identify them. everyone to avoid them and then let biodiversity exist. flourish.
This small animal is deliberately imaginary (crossing of different species), its role is to be the standard bearer of all species, without distinction, so as not to encourage people to be born. research and gene of a particular species.
We thank you for respecting the tranquility of your stay. of these areas.
There are two reasons for this; differentiate between species and classify some of them as protected species:
– The species is threatened (low population, difficulty in reproducing, rare natural environment, etc.)
– The species is an 'umbrella species'. : Protecting this species and its habitat helps protect the habitat and the entire ecosystem that is favorable to it. a large number of other species.
Protected species
Several protected species of fauna and flora have been protected. recorded in the wider geographical area of the ski area.
In fact, when we plan developments, inventories of fauna and flora are carried out by specialists, thus allowing us to know the animals and plants present and to map the areas where ; they live. Which allows us to adapt our projects to suit your needs. the protection and conservation of this entire eco-system.
As protected species, we find, for example:
LE GRAND TÉTRAS
One of the most discreet and most emblematic birds of the Pyrenees, it is present throughout the Ax 3 Domaines ski resort. The capercaillie is currently monitored in our territory by specialists (Mountain Observatory) in order to monitor the evolution of the workforce as well as its behavior.
LA CHOUETTE DE TENGMALM
This nocturnal raptor is quite difficult to observe although its “surprised” look is one of its characteristics. Species protected on a European scale. Scientific monitoring is carried out on Ax 3 domains in order to analyze the threats of disappearance of its habitat (coniferous forest).
LA BUXBAUMIE VERTE
Its name is a little scary but it is a very rare moss because its habitat is increasingly rare: Old coniferous forest It benefits from national protection and compensatory measure in the event of degradation of its environment .
LA ROSSOLIS
Carnivorous plants exist! but they don't eat children like in the cartoons. It is a small plant found in humid areas and more particularly acidic peat bogs. It is protected throughout France.
L'ISARD
The most emblematic species of the Pyrenees with its horns and its black coat in winter. It can be observed throughout the Pyrenees and more particularly in Ariège where it is studied closely in the Orlu National Reserve.
No protective character.
LE LIS DES PYRÉNÉES
Magnificent and majestic plant endemic to the Pyrenees and the central massif. If you walk in our mountains, you can observe it from the end of May to the beginning of July. Be careful, don't pick it, let it grow slowly...
Energy sobriety
Good energy management has been one of our constant concerns for many years.
Our actions:
Closure of the Baou Gondola at 7 p.m. every day (weekends and holidays included) since 2022
Maintain a maximum temperature of 19 degrees in all of our technical, administrative and public reception premises.
Training of our operating agents and implementation of eco-driving on ski lifts. It allows us to adapt the speed of our lifts to the instantaneous attendance while maintaining circulation as smoothly as possible.
Limitation of artificial snow production during peak consumption hours and peak hours.
Adapted grooming planning (between 70 and 80% of the area): grooming the trails that are used the most.
Training our grooming machine drivers in eco-driving, in order to save fuel, for the same work.
Acquisition of a snow height measurement tool in order to optimize grooming times and production times for certain snow guns.
Reasonable use of ski lifts. On low-traffic days, we only open our essential lifts, this is how we provide access to the maximum of the accessible area, in good fluidity conditions, without opening redundant lifts.
Evolution of our installations to make them more efficient and more efficient as our investments progress, both in the choice of new devices and in the continuous renovation of our installations.
