We are a membership organisation who promotes independent walking tours in the Southern French Alps that are run in a way that increases the positive impacts on our montainous and remote valley and on our environment.
Our walks are a sample of sustainable development project for remote rural areas; we are supporting small accommodations and helping them to generate the bookings that they need to live in our area. We are all guides working in partnership with the National Park. We have been awarded this label for the high quality service we provide.
The yurts are run in a way which minimizes their environment impact: composting toilets, solar electricity and providing clients with organic fruit and vegetables from the garden.
To carry lunches we use biodegradable Materbi BioBags made of the material Mater-Bi, the main component of which is cornstarch. The BioBag is 100% biodegradable and compostable.
As a company we aim be involved in pastoralism, the roots of our culture, by meeting shepherds and supporting thei way of life. All our donkeys are bred here in the Mercantour on 250 hectares that they help to keep clear from the scrub. We feel that this low impact lefstyle is essential to ensure the sustainable development of the area.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
