Our commitments to more responsible tourism
At the Avancher Hotel, we are convinced that hospitality and respect for our environment go hand in hand.
Located in the heart of Val d’Isère, in an exceptional yet fragile natural setting, we are committed to evolving our practices to limit our impact, favour more responsible consumption and preserve the human values that drive us.
Our approach is based on concrete actions, careful attention to our resources and a daily commitment to our employees, our guests and our partners.
Responsible linen management
Linen accounts for a significant share of the resources consumed in a hotel. We pay close attention to its use and encourage a sensible approach to washing.
We let our guests know that they can keep their towels for several days, and we adapt linen changes to their needs, in order to reduce water, energy and detergent consumption.
Our goal: to combine hotel comfort, quality of service and control of our environmental impact.
More responsible guest amenities
We pay particular attention to the amenities provided to our guests and to their packaging.
We aim to gradually favour solutions that reduce single-use packaging and plastic waste, while maintaining the level of comfort and quality expected in our hotel.
Every choice counts as we move towards more mindful consumption.
Local and seasonal produce
The quality of our hospitality also depends on the products we choose.
We pay particular attention to where they come from and, whenever possible, favour short supply chains, local producers and regional suppliers.
At the restaurant, we are committed to mountain cuisine that celebrates produce, the seasons and the know-how of our producers. A way of bringing our region to life while encouraging more local and responsible consumption.
Sort, recycle, reduce plastic
We are committed to better sorting and recovering our waste every day, by raising our teams’ awareness of good sorting and recycling practices.
We also seek to limit the use of plastic bottles and to favour more sustainable alternatives whenever possible.
Reducing waste is a collective effort that involves our teams as well as our guests and our partners.
Caring for the people who make the Avancher
Because hospitality relies above all on the women and men who bring it to life, we place the well-being of our employees at the heart of our commitments.
We are particularly proud of our teams’ loyalty: on average, 80% of our employees return from one season to the next, with an average length of service of 7 seasons.
These figures reflect the quality of the human relationships we strive to build, the mutual trust and the attachment of our teams to our mountain home.
We make sure to offer a respectful working environment, to encourage the passing on of know-how, to support everyone in their development and to preserve a true team spirit.
For us, taking care of our employees also means taking care of the experience we offer our guests.
