The mountains have a way of reminding us what truly matters. Crisp air, untouched snow, and vast Alpine horizons invite a sense of clarity — and with that comes a growing responsibility to tread lightly on the landscapes we cherish. At Consensio, we believe luxury and sustainability are not opposing ideas, but complementary ones. That belief is why we are proud to partner with EcoSki, a company reshaping the way skiers think about clothing, consumption, and environmental impact.

A More Considered Way to Dress for the Mountains

EcoSki operates the UK’s first dedicated skiwear rental service, offering premium, technical ski clothing for both adults and children. Designed for performance, comfort, and longevity, their carefully curated collection allows guests to access high-quality gear without the need to purchase new equipment each season.

Their range includes respected technical and environmentally conscious brands such as Patagonia, Picture Organic, Houdini, Hestra, and Norrøna — names known not only for their performance on the slopes, but also for their commitment to responsible production. Whether travelling as a family, skiing occasionally, or simply preferring a lighter approach to packing, EcoSki provides a seamless alternative to ownership without compromising on style or quality.

Why EcoSki Exists
The impact of textile waste is significant. Every second, a truckload of clothing is discarded globally — despite the vast resources required to produce it. At the same time, rising temperatures continue to threaten Alpine environments, with glaciers retreating year after year.

Skiing, while deeply rewarding, is not without its footprint. From travel and resort infrastructure to the multiple layers of clothing required, it is a sport that asks more of the planet than we often realise. EcoSki was created in response to this reality, guided by a simple yet powerful principle: we should think about the clothes we wear as carefully as we think about the food we consume.

That philosophy extends across their entire operation — from the brands they select and the durability of each garment, to how items are cleaned, repaired, and kept in circulation for as long as possible.

Four Ways to Shop More Responsibly
EcoSki encourages skiers to step away from the traditional make–take–dispose cycle by offering four smart, sustainable choices:

• Repair – Extend the life of gear you already own
• Rent – Access high-quality kit without unnecessary purchasing
• Preowned – Give technical wear a second life
• New “Kit with a Conscience” – Buy only when needed, and with full transparency

Each option supports a more circular approach, helping reduce waste while maintaining the standards expected by today’s discerning skiers.

Sustainability, the Consensio Way
Our partnership with EcoSki reflects a broader commitment within Consensio to operate responsibly and thoughtfully across every aspect of our business — from energy use and supplier selection to the products we place in our chalets and the partners we choose to work with.

Sustainability, for us, is not about compromise. It is about making informed decisions that respect the Alpine environment while continuing to offer exceptional experiences in the mountains we call home.
