Highlighting the environmental credentials of this four season alpine resort, the prestigious eco-homes review website whatgreenhome.com has awarded the development an 'excellent standard' kite mark.
Jeremy Tomalin-Reeves, Vice President – Marketing at Three Sisters Mountain Village, says, "As climate change becomes more of a concern for all countries around the world, environmental initiatives are essential for every development.
"Preserving our beautiful, natural location has been a major priority from the very start of development. We are constantly re-evaluating and re-assessing our practices to ensure that we enhance the natural environment and reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible.
"A large part of this is creating more green space and land for wildlife and we have decided to reduce the overall density of the resort by more than half."
Of the entire resort area, more than half is dedicated to green space with wildlife movement corridors created throughout.
To date, approximately 1,000 acres of Three Sisters Mountain Village have been established as wildlife corridors, to maintain passage for various species across the resort. These are free from disturbance or development and help the sustained protection of the region's wildlife, which includes deer, mountain sheep, elk and bears.
With the help of environmental scientist Bruce Leeson and wildlife tracker Pat Kamenka, further wildlife corridors are being created and Three Sisters Mountain Village will make significant land donations to these.
To ensure neighbourhoods do not attract local wildlife, management programmes have been instigated to protect both residents and animals.
A Discovery Centre has just opened to enable residents and visitors the opportunity to learn more about Three Sisters Mountain Village's environmental initiatives. Residents can also enjoy the expansive protected areas at the resort through hikes and wildlife walks with professional guides.
