Sustainable Hotel in Chamonix: Small Actions That Make a Difference

A sustainable hotel is more than just grand statements: it is built day by day, through the choices we make behind the scenes, the habits we instill, and the small actions that, when added up, help preserve the environment.

At PlanB Chamonix, we’ve chosen to move forward step by step, taking concrete actions designed to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to offer our guests a warm and comfortable experience.

‍

Less Waste, More Meaning

Waste reduction is a key focus of our approach. To make better use of our organic waste, we partner with EcoTriVélo, a local bicycle-based collection service that transforms our food waste into useful resources.

This approach promotes more responsible management, while prioritizing a gentle solution tailored to our mountainous region.

A towel with a different design

In a living space like PlanB, every little detail of daily life can become an opportunity to take action. That’s why we don’t automatically replace the towels here.

We invite our guests to do their part by simply reusing their towels for several days—this helps reduce the water, energy, and detergent needed to wash them, without ever compromising the comfort of your stay.

Conserving energy without sacrificing comfort

Reducing our energy consumption is one of our top priorities. Thanks in part to innovative solutions like Luniwave, we promote more responsible usage and raise our customers' awareness of the importance of conserving water.

Because a vacation in the mountains is also an invitation to respect the natural resources around us.

A More Sustainable Breakfast

Our commitment is also reflected in our food choices. As evaluated by FairScore, PlanB Chamonix currently has a B rating—a first step that encourages us to continue our efforts.

Among our commitments: eliminating individual breakfast bags to reduce single-use packaging and promote more sustainable alternatives.

‍

‍

Environmentally friendly cleaning products

To maintain our spaces, we have chosen to work with Terre de Mars, a French brand that designs and manufactures its products in France using a more sustainable approach.

Once again, our goal is simple: to reduce our environmental impact, promote more eco-friendly products, and avoid single-use packaging that generates unnecessary waste.

‍

Committed teams at the heart of the initiative

A CSR policy can only be effective if it is supported by everyone. That is why we support the teams at PlanB Chamonix through training sessions focused on waste sorting, reducing food waste, and sustainable development issues.

Because every employee, every action, and every gesture helps shape the evolution of our practices.

‍

‍

A daily commitment, built together with you

Behind a sustainable hotel, there is no dramatic revolution, but rather a multitude of conscious decisions made every day.

At PlanB Chamonix, we believe that the hospitality of tomorrow is built on balance: offering our guests a unique experience while taking care of the exceptional region that welcomes us. Because in the mountains, every action counts.
