TIGNES EARNS THE FLOCON VERT LABEL !

Tignes was awarded the FLOCON VERT label on November 25, 2022.

Awarded by the Mountain Riders association, the label Flocon vert recognizes the efforts made over the past few years by local authorities to promote sustainable, social and cultural development.


As the awards were handed out, Mountain Riders reminded the audience that Tignes is known for its inclusive welcome: "I'm thinking in particular of the Snow Pride and, more generally, of the LGBT openness that is fully assumed and cultivated.


Other economic players also have their part to play, such as the micro-hydroelectric plant producing up to 15% of our electricity needs, and a new state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant.


The award of the label Flocon vert is only the first step, and efforts must continue.
