The Bastille of Grenoble and its cable car committed to sustainable and responsible tourism!
Throughout the year, the Régie du Téléphérique presented its eco-commitments for the Bastille site and its cable car, in connection with the themes of Grenoble Capitale Verte. Some are already well underway, others are yet to come.
“Whether it’s daily actions or longer-term structural projects, it’s towards sustainable and responsible tourism that all the teams are now working to project themselves into the cable car and the Bastille of tomorrow.” says Patricia Gallois, the director.
The Régie du Téléphérique has drawn up an environmental roadmap for the operation of the cable car,
the operation of the Fort de la Bastille and the organization of eco-responsible events.
