Fragile natural habitats

Preserving fragile natural areas is a major priority for Grand Chambéry Alpes Tourisme.

We want the mountain to remain a protected leisure area that everyone can enjoy so Chambéry Montagnes Tourist Board is supporting the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park in its awareness campaign for how to behave in the mountain.

Iles du Chéran and La Thuile Lake

Grand Chambéry Alpes Tourisme hires two eco-volunteers in summer to enhance the system the Regional Nature Park has had in place for years with a team of six eco-volunteers on hand in July and August.

These “nature” volunteers work at Iles du Chéran and La Thuile Lake to provide visitors with a warm welcome and information: respecting hay meadows, no bivouacs or fires, angle parking to maximise space, swimming in authorised areas plus information about pastoralism, geology, landscapes, biodiversity etc.

The mountain, a place to live and work

Whether it be a mountain pasture, meadow, forest or a plot of public or private land, visitors are always on someone else’s property.

Our hiking, mountain biking and trail running friends are very welcome here as long as they respect certain rules that help protect the sites which they’re exploring as guests.

Grand Chambéry Alpes Tourisme takes great care over the information it provides to Chambéry Montagnes visitors about these rules of good behaviour to ensure that they enjoy their visit to these natural habitats in peace and harmony with the area’s inhabitants.
