Local climate project
Bike2Work in the Dolomites region Seiser Alm
It’s important to the responsible for the ski area to invest in local projects when it comes to offsetting Co2 emissions. They have therefore commissioned the Ökoinstitut Südtirol to draw up some proposals for realisable projects. The decision was made in favour of the Bike2Work project in order to promote sustainable mobility in everyday life and also to reduce the CO2 emissions caused in the area and to make an active contribution to climate protection.
The main aim of the Bike2Work project is to sensitise locals to climate-friendly forms of mobility in everyday life and to initiate a long-term change in behaviour. The budget available for CO2 compensation is invested in financing this project.
We support those citizens who consciously switch from cars to e-bikes for their way to work. We started the first round in May 2023 and 10 e-bikes were issued. Due to the high demand last year, 15 more e-bikes were purchased from the lift companies of the Seiser Alm - so 25 e-bikes were available for the project in 2024. In 2025 there will be 30 e-bikes. This project is not only an important signal in terms of promoting and raising awareness of bicycle mobility, but also a concrete step towards climate and environmental protection.
