Green info 3 gestures that make a difference

Stay on the access paths.
The cliff edges are fragile. By following the marked paths, you protect the vegetation and prevent erosion.

Take everything back with you.
Tissues, packaging, bottles… nothing should be left at the foot of the routes. The mountains have no rubbish bins.

Respect wildlife and sensitive periods.
Some routes may be temporarily closed for nesting. Ask before you climb and respect the tranquillity of the area.
