Sustainability for greener skiers in Courchevel
Consistent with the Six Senses commitment to sustainability, we preserve precious resources such as energy and water, including energy efficient light bulbs, sensor activation, and smart thermostat settings. Guests receive ‘recycling points’ in exchange for returned key cards and ski passes at the reception desk in order to promote circularity, in addition to recycling points at resident entrances. Each residence is equipped with our adorable soft toy mascot, a chamois named Monty. These mountain goats are an emblem of a healthy, thriving mountain ecosystem, and are being monitored closely because of their importance within it. All proceeds from soft toy sales go to our Sustainability Fund, which is used to support our partner NGOs, One Tree at a Time and Ma Chance Moi Aussi.
Environmental Responsibility
Our environmental projects focus on increasing awareness for circularity in the community and reducing waste to landfill, whilst providing alternative livelihood for the community.

Fix it, don’t ditch it
We are delighted to work with One Tree at a Time, a social enterprise focused on reducing textile waste in the form of ski uniforms and outdoor clothing that would otherwise end up in landfill. One Tree tackles these waste items at the source by reducing the number of garments thrown away by patching, replacing zips, and reworking designs, upcycling clothing into other garments and items. In the first half of 2024, 854 kilograms of clothing was diverted from landfill, and over 80 percent of donated products are kept in the local economy.
Social Responsibility
Our social projects aim to promote well-being and health of our communities. By partnering with Ma Chance Moi Aussi, we are able to increase life quality through education and development for those in need.

Ma Chance Moi Aussi
New for the 2024-2025 academic school term, we have partnered with Ma Chance Moi Aussi to support "Empowering Together", a program running in the Val de Roses neighborhood in Albertville. The aim is to enhance the well-being of young people living in priority neighborhoods by strengthening their psychosocial skills and offering support to their parents and create an environment conductive to learning, personal development, and resilience while fostering quality family relationships.
