Méribel is an excellent choice of destination for a summer holiday in the mountains. The resort is sure to provide an unforgettable holiday for all the family, thanks to its stunning setting and endless possibilities in terms of activities. In particular, you can explore the surrounding trails to find the most beautiful viewpoints. Here we introduce you to eco-hiking, for adventures that respect nature.

Eco-hiking, or how to respect the environment at every step

Hiking is one of the favourite activities for mountain lovers, and Méribel is the perfect playground. There are plenty of opportunities from the resort to discover the Savoie. But hikers beware: loving the mountains also means respecting them. During your outings in the great outdoors, we'll see how important it is to adopt a few reflexes that will turn your simple walk into an eco-hike!

In a nutshell, eco-hiking is about taking full advantage of nature, while preserving it. Although it's tempting to pick the beautiful flowers that may be on your path, just observe and photograph them, and let them grow peacefully. Eco-hiking also means making a commitment to follow the paths to preserve the natural environment.
