Among nature, with respect

The beauty of our natural sites is a shared heritage. To preserve the integrity of ecosystems and ensure everyone can enjoy a meaningful experience, we invite you to follow these international guidelines for minimal environmental impact.

1. Plan mindfully
Protecting nature begins before you leave. Check weather forecasts, local regulations, and protected areas. Proper preparation reduces risks for you and prevents interventions that could damage the environment.

2. Stay on marked trails
Walk and rest only on durable surfaces. Following marked paths prevents soil erosion and protects the wild vegetation growing along the trails. Avoid creating shortcuts that could destabilize slopes.

3. Manage waste properly
Follow the “pack it out” principle: everything you bring must be taken back with you. Even organic waste, such as peels or food scraps, should not be left behind, as it disrupts wildlife diets and degrades the landscape.

4. Leave everything in place
The best souvenir is a photograph. Do not collect flowers, mushrooms, rocks, or natural artifacts—every element plays a vital role in the site’s ecosystem. Leaving the environment intact ensures future visitors can enjoy the same natural beauty.

5. No open fires
Fire is one of the greatest threats to forests and meadows. Use designated barbecue areas or camping stoves where allowed. Always make sure any heat source is completely extinguished before leaving.

6. Respect wildlife
Observe animals from a safe distance without disturbing their behavior. Never approach them for photos or feed them: human interference can cause stress and endanger young animals.

7. Value silence and personal space
Nature is a space for rest and rejuvenation for everyone. Keep your voice low and respect the tranquility of other hikers. Sharing trails courteously ensures every visitor can fully immerse themselves in the environment.
