We recently reported on the great new train guide created by Montagne Verte. This is just one of the great projects the Morzine environmental group have initiated.

Another is the introduction of their ‘BioCyclist’.

Collecting organic waste

The ‘biocycle’ is a carbon-free way of collecting organic waste produced by local restaurants and hotels in Morzine, Les Gets and Montriond.

The waste is collected using a electrically-assisted bicycle with trailer capable of carrying 250kg of bio-waste to a nearby methane plant.

It’s an environmentally-friendly vehicle, which limits motorized traffic in the town centre, creates social ties, jobs and new interactions with the local community.
