Snow glistens on the mountain slopes, while the white peaks of the Dolomites rise against the winter sky. Skiers and snowboarders enjoy perfectly prepared pistes surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the Rosengarten and Latemar massifs.
Operating a ski resort requires energy and resources. Carezza Dolomites therefore implements concrete measures in different areas of its operations to monitor and, where possible, reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
An important part of this process is the regular calculation of the Corporate Carbon Footprint. In 2025, Carezza Dolomites recorded 284 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e), compared with 470.1 tonnes of CO₂e in 2024. This represents a reduction of approximately 40% compared with the previous year.
The electricity purchased for the operation of the lifts and technical snowmaking comes 100% from renewable energy sources and is certified through the relevant guarantees of origin.
Snow production is concentrated during periods of suitably low temperatures, allowing water and energy to be used as efficiently as possible. When preparing the pistes, snow groomer routes are planned with the aim of avoiding unnecessary journeys and optimising fuel consumption.
Another measure concerns the fuel used for piste preparation. Since autumn 2025, the snow groomers – with the exception of snowmobiles – have been powered by HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) instead of fossil diesel. This change was a significant factor in the reduction of Carezza Dolomites’ Corporate Carbon Footprint recorded in 2025.
Further measures include the separation of waste, the reduction of single-use products and a more conscious use of resources in day-to-day operations.
One example is the “Bergler Acker” project: during the season, locally grown vegetables are regularly transported by cable car to the Laurins Lounge.
At events held in Carezza, various measures are implemented to reduce resource consumption and waste. These include the use of regional products, reducing printed information materials, separating waste and communicating and promoting travel by public transport.
For Carezza Dolomites, this process means above all measuring impacts, implementing concrete measures and transparently documenting their development over time.
Carezza Dolomites follows an approach based on concrete measures and measurable results to reduce, where possible, resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions related to its operations.
This commitment has been recognised with the Vitalpin Climate Investment Award. Carezza is also part of the Eggental destination, which is certified according to criteria recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).
Regular monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions, the use of electricity from renewable energy sources, HVO for snow groomers and the optimisation of technical snowmaking and piste preparation are among the measures implemented.
In the heart of the Dolomites, Carezza’s approach is based on a clear principle: measure impacts, take concrete action and transparently document progress over time.
