While 99% of colors are produced from fossil resources, Pili produces bio-based dyes and pigments to provide a sustainable alternative to polluting dyes in the textile industry. In an improved way, Pili reproduces the process used naturally by certain bacteria, from the soil or from mushrooms, to produce color.

Placed in large fermentation tanks at room temperature, the microorganisms break down renewable plant materials, such as sugar and wood, and transform them into dyes. The pigments are then separated from the bacteria and put together to obtain the desired range of colors.

Congratulations for this great innovation!

The complex consists of three chalets connected by a spa area, a restaurant and a bar. EXTENDAM and Mont-Blanc Collection are supported in equity by Bpifrance and Crédit Agricole des Savoie.

The summer period followed the trend and has benefited regional establishments, as it was the case since the start of the health crisis. Indeed, these markets were the most dynamic with an opening rate of 99% and an occupancy rate of 69% at the end of August 2021. A jump of 16 points since last June, which is owed to the good performance of the coastal sectors. On the Ile-de-France side, the region also benefited from the season despite the absence of international tourists, with an occupancy rate increasing by 17% compared to the start of the summer.
