Attention skiers. It has been reported that European alps are predicted to have the highest loss of mass in at least 60 years. Not good. So the Guardian has picked this week a feature on the sustainable ski resort of Laax, a greener, more environmentally-conscious alternative to other ski resorts. Ice melting is also an issue in Laax (the Vorab Glacier is facing extinction), but there is a sense of “healing among the pines” with rewilding success stories including the reintroduction of the alpine ibex and bat-eared lynx.
Why Laxx? Above and beyond the help you’ll be giving back to the environment, you’ll also love the experience. lear, cool mountain air as you glide down the slopes.
