Measure. Reduce. Review.

Carezza Dolomites implements concrete measures across different areas of its lift operations with the aim of using energy and resources more efficiently and reducing greenhouse gas emissions wherever possible.

In collaboration with the Terra Institute, Carezza Dolomites regularly calculates its Corporate Carbon Footprint in accordance with the GHG Protocol. This assessment provides a data-based foundation for identifying the main sources of emissions, monitoring developments over time and defining further reduction measures.

The measures implemented and their results are analysed and further developed, also with the involvement of our employees.

In 2025, Carezza Dolomites’ Corporate Carbon Footprint amounted to 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.

Regular measurement of greenhouse gas emissions provides a transparent and verifiable basis for assessing progress, identifying further opportunities for reduction and developing new measures.

Specific measures in lift operations

Did you know that…

  • technical snowmaking is continuously monitored and optimised? Snow production is concentrated during periods when suitably low temperatures allow water and energy to be used as efficiently as possible. Modern control and planning systems support snowmaking operations according to weather conditions and the actual requirements of the pistes.
  • Did you know that the technical expertise of Georg Eisath, founder of TechnoAlpin, has contributed over the years to the development and optimisation of snowmaking and piste preparation systems at Carezza?
  • snow depth measurement systems and GPS data are used for piste preparation? This information helps operators distribute the available snow where it is needed and plan snow groomer routes with the aim of avoiding unnecessary journeys.
  • … a significant proportion of the water required for technical snowmaking is collected in reservoirs? The water is used to produce snow and returns to the natural water cycle when the snow melts.
  • … 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?
  • … lift operations are also organised according to actual usage? This allows energy consumption to be adapted to operational requirements.
  • … Carezza promotes the use of public transport to reach the ski area? Bus services and public transport connections allow guests to reach various access points without using a private car.
  • … various measures are implemented at events to reduce resource consumption and waste? These include waste separation, reducing printed information materials, using reusable solutions and giving preference to regional products.
  • … since autumn 2025, the snow groomers – with the exception of snowmobiles – have been powered by HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) instead of fossil diesel? The switch in fuel used for piste preparation was a significant factor in the reduction of Carezza Dolomites’ Corporate Carbon Footprint recorded in 2025.
  • … in 2025, Carezza Dolomites’ Corporate Carbon Footprint amounted to 284 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e), compared with 470.1 tonnes in 2024? This represents a reduction of approximately 40% compared with the previous year.
  • … the operation of the lift facilities contributes to creating and maintaining jobs in the local area? Carezza Dolomites employs people from the region and works with numerous local companies and service providers.

 

Measuring progress

Carezza Dolomites regularly calculates its Corporate Carbon Footprint in collaboration with the Terra Institute and in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The results make it possible to monitor the development of greenhouse gas emissions, assess measures already implemented and identify further opportunities for reduction.

The Carezza ski resort

is located in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site, beneath the legendary Catinaccio and Latemar massifs. With its spectacular mountain scenery, varied slopes and sunny location, Carezza offers ideal conditions for enjoying winter in the Dolomites.

At the same time, Carezza Dolomites implements concrete measures to monitor and, where possible, reduce resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions related to its operations.

These measures include the use of electricity from renewable energy sources, the optimisation of technical snowmaking and piste preparation, the use of HVO for snow groomers and the regular monitoring of the company’s Corporate Carbon Footprint.
