As early as 1936, the ski resort of Carroz d'Araches was transformed to welcome the first Swiss tourists. In 1939, the very first ski lift was built at an altitude of 1600 metres and made it possible to reach the top of the slopes in just 15 minutes. Several slopes were accessible at the time and a first ski pass was created. In 2020, the resort of Les Carroz d'Araches celebrated the 90th anniversary of the ski club which saw the birth of skiing legends such as Maurice Poncet or the Leduc sisters.

LES CARROZ D'ARACHES, AN ECO-RESPONSIBLE RESORT

Committed to sustainable development, the resort has made it a point of honour for several years to create an environmental policy. To limit the impact of tourist activity and reduce the ecological footprint, several actions have been put in place. First of all, the Carroz ski area has been certified Green Globe, a label developed for tourism that certifies that a tourist destination adopts an environmental management of its activities. In addition, its ski lifts are powered by renewable energy to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, the domain's teams use carpooling and various solar panels have been placed on the resort to run the crèche and various places. Finally, the Carroz d'Araches has made a commitment to the Maewan Adventure Base association. This 7-year expedition from the Arctic to the Antarctic is a human and sporting adventure whose aim is to awaken awareness through educational and environmental media and to convey strong values in order to become aware of the climatic challenges we face.
