The French resort of Les Gets will be promoting carpooling this winter as a way to help combat the effects of global warming.

Their new 3+1=3 campaign means that people who travel to the resort in car containing four or more people will receive a 25% discount on their lift ticket.

The discount is available every Wednesday and Sunday throughout winter 2007-08 for full day and half-day lift tickets.

Arrive before 11am at the "3+1=3" meeting point located just before arriving in Les Gets or Morzine  and a member of the ski resort staff will give a voucher to each person in the car to be redeemed at the lift ticket window.
