mountain biodiversity

Today more than ever it is essential to take care of our planet. With the summer season, the high temperatures, the mountains are becoming increasingly popular among many of us... and hiking has become one of the flagship activities of this summer! We propose a few eco-responsible actions that are easy to adopt during your outings in walks, hiking, or bivouac. To go further, discover outdoor products that respect the environment to support your commitments.


Prepare your itinerary

Before leaving, it is preferable to prepare your route, whether it is a natural park, a nature reserve, or a protected area. Also, remember to check the weather to leave adapted to the weather conditions... in summer? Don't forget your reusable water bottle and your hat. Also, make sure to equip yourself with hiking equipment suited to your needs and respectful of the environment.

Respect the markings

Currently, most hiking trails are marked. In addition to guiding hikers throughout the walk, the markings also help preserve sites to limit walking on protected areas to safeguard the environment of animals and wildlife. Also, think about your poles that can damage the vegetation!

Leave the environment intact

Although in the mountains, we find beautiful little colorful flowers, let's not forget that wildlife and flora are part of our environment, this ecosystem that is essential for us on earth. Instead of picking these flowers, enjoy capturing them with your camera during your hike. Your photo will be much prettier with these flowers than a photo without these beautiful colors! You can also discover products made from recyclable materials to further reduce your impact on each outing.

Minimize your waste

A field without flowers is like a field overrun with waste... It is not appealing and it is not nice for the locals and for the planet. During your outings, bring reusable materials: water bottles/flasks (to keep your water fresh and odorless), prepare your homemade picnic with your kitchen utensils (boxes, forks, knives, etc.). In case, take a plastic bag to put all your waste and any you can find on your way and recycle this waste at the end of the day. To complete, equip yourself with hiking equipment at the best price or check the selection of hiking accessories at the best price.


Did you know that a chewing gum in nature takes 5 years to be completely destroyed? A water bottle takes more than 400 years. It is ultimately simple to adopt these small gestures to preserve our planet by also choosing eco-responsible purchases in fair trade for your outdoor products.


Choose eco-responsible products

We don't necessarily think about it, but clothing has an impact on the environment, whether in terms of design, manufacturing, transport, and even when we wear them, clothing emits pollution into the air. For example, for the waterproofing of clothing, some products have been treated with chemical substances, PFCs (perfluorocarbons), which are harmful to nature and humans, so many brands have committed to making PFC-free products while creating a technical and more environmentally friendly product. To go further in your responsible approach, prioritize sustainable manufacturing purchases, or choose natural outdoor materials purchases.


So if you need hiking clothing or equipment, we offer a selection of eco-responsible products and brands that are respectful of the environment. Now it's your turn!
