Triathlon training holiday in Chamonix, France
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We live, work, and run holidays in a stunning mountain environment, below Europe’s highest peak – Mont Blanc. The untouched beauty of our adventure sports playground is its biggest attraction, and keeping it that way is one of our main priorities! We are passionate about sharing our amazing mountain world with as many people as possible, in an environmentally sustainable manner. We are a small team, offering a 100% personal service, and are dedicated to sharing our love for the sports and environment around us.
As a company, we recycle, reuse, and actively promote the environmentally friendly option in terms of transport and travel around the valley. We support the Chamonix tourist office’s campaign for an ‘eco-friendly’ town. We run shared minibuses, use natural cleaning products (vinegar, baking soda etc), and run an almost entirely paper free office. We encourage all our guests to think about the environmental impact of their actions during their stay, providing information about the local ecology, encouraging minimal use of water and heating, and offering easy access to recycling facilities, free public transport, and environmentally friendly methods of transport – swim, bike, run!
Our triathlon training holidays use non-polluting methods of transport, and leave no scar or litter on the environment. Our team of expert fitness professionals have lived in the local area for many years, and know Chamonix inside out. They hold the highest possible qualification to work in the area and are a fountain of knowledge about the sports they love, but also about the local area. We keep our triathlon camps to small groups (of 8 or less) which helps maximise your training experience, and minimise the impact on the environment.
Our aim is to grow slowly, sustainably, and in the most environmentally conscious way we can. At every step of our company development, we consider not only the economic viability, but also the environmental viability – we want to keep our mountains the way they are for the rest of our company’s life, but also for our children and grandchildren to enjoy as we have.
Community
We are committed to maintaining a social responsibility to the community in which we live. Chamonix is a diverse and multicultural ‘melting pot’ of nationalities – all drawn to the mountain Mecca that is the Mont Blanc range. Our company is fully integrated into the French community we live in. Our team of staff are all fluent French speakers, we have both a French and an English company, and we work closely with a network of trusted local suppliers, personal trainers, masseurs, yoga and pilates instructors and physiotherapists. We are proud to be part of an exciting and developing community that is growing and changing constantly, but we also recognise the importance of maintaining and supporting the local heritage and history of where we choose to live and run our business.
As a company, we don’t automatically opt for the cheapest supplier – it’s the closest, smallest, or friendliest who usually wins our business! From the bread and cheese we use to make your sandwiches to the materials and building teams we use to furnish our properties, we are committed to supporting local businesses. We are active members in the Chamonix Business Forum – dedicated to Chamonix’s environmental development as a whole. Together as a network of holiday companies and suppliers we can achieve so much more than just one small business, to protect our fragile environment and continue to promote our beautiful town in a sustainable and environmentally sympathetic way.
