SAAS FEE, SWITZERLAN­D Glacier-capped Saas Fee in Valais is the world’s first carbon-neutral municipali­ty. The car-free resort runs on hydropower and has nailed it transport-wise, with an e-car sharing service and emissionfr­ee ski buses. saas-fee.ch

WOLF CREEK, COLORADO Deep, steep and snow-sure, Wolf Creek is a shining model of sustainabi­lity.
