Vaujany and its sustainable commitments

Our sustainable commitments

Because tomorrow’s world can no longer ignore the principles of sustainable development, all the staff of the Tourist Office are committed to implementing and respecting actions in favour of the environment (communication, purchasing, sorting, events, publications, travel, etc.). These eco-actions are listed in a charter, displayed in our premises.

Concerned about the environment, the commune of Vaujany also wanted to have its efforts recognised and obtained the “Station Verte” label on 7 October 2014. A Green Resort is a welcoming territory in the heart of the terroir, recognised at national level as an organised resort, offering meaningful holidays, in favour of natural, authentic, human and environmentally friendly tourism.

SLOPES AND LIFTS ARE NOW SMOKE-FREE

To protect the quality of the air and the beauty of our mountains, ski slopes, lift queues, and ski lifts are now smoke-free areas.

Decree n°2025-582 of June 27, 2025 extends the ban on smoking to new outdoor spaces, reinforcing the protection of public health and the environment.

The following areas are now affected:
• All ski lifts, including chairlifts,
• Lift queues,
• Ski slopes.

This national measure is warmly welcomed by Vaujany as another step toward cleaner, more enjoyable mountains that everyone can share. It fits naturally with our CSR commitments to sustainability, air quality, and the preservation of our mountain environment.

Thank you for helping us make every ski experience more enjoyable, serene… and smoke-free.

Choosing the mountains means

seeking fresh air, emotion, and that unique sense of freedom. With smoke-free slopes and lifts, we are taking another step to make your experience even more enjoyable and serene for everyone.
