Study carried out and analysis of significant environmental impacts.
As part of recent work (TSF Cabeau and Neige de Culture), environmental studies were carried out by a consulting firm, aimed at minimizing the effects on the environment or compensating for them. These studies have made it possible to carry out preventive actions, such as the mowing of sanguisorbe in spring, the host plant of a butterfly (the azure of the sanguisorbe) so that it does not come to reproduce in the construction sector. .
We have also delimited non-ski areas, and set up an associated information system for customers, to protect areas likely to accommodate the Grouse.
