Les Menuires & Saint-Martin’s bold new solutions
Faced with climate change, we’re all asking questions.
Our resort must take responsibility and act. Find out about the steps we’re taking.
How can we live in the mountains without damaging them?
The initiative taken by Les Menuires & Saint-Martin is opening the way to a debate about the future of our mountains:
- What proactive steps can we take to protect nature and the living environment?
- How can we tackle climate change?
- How can we limit the environmental impact of businesses and tourism in our valleys while continuing to develop sustainably?
To tackle this challenge, here are our solutions.
Work and “co-existence” for a rich, community-focused social life
We want to forge strong links between our holidaymakers and our villages’ residents. Our high-quality welcome and initiatives to maintain a lively, harmonious way of life combine to form the “Friendly Menuires” mindset.
