Abstract
Climate change poses significant risks to the winter tourism industry, as many ski resorts face shorter, milder winter seasons. Given these challenges and their critical role in both tourism attraction and economic vitality, it is important for ski resorts to consider proactive measures for all winter enthusiasts who want to enjoy snow-based sports and the natural beauty of a mountain environment. The present study investigates the carbon footprint associated with the Alpe di Mera ski resort, with a specific emphasis on three key elements: ski lifts, snowmaking, and grooming. The Alpe di Mera ski resort intends to replace two existing chair lifts with a single cable car lift as a part of its future renovation plan.
In light of this development, a novel methodology was developed to assess the energy consumption of the new ski lift (cable car) using passenger data from existing chair lifts
