Love being outdoors?
Green hotels, resorts and rentals for your hiking vacation in the mountains
Hiking makes you happy
And a sustainable hiking vacation makes you even happier. Out and about in nature, listening to the birds and discovering places that can only be reached on foot. That's what makes hiking so fascinating. You experience everything more intensely and more slowly. That's another reason why hiking is perfect for taking time out from stressful everyday life and for winding down.
Sustainable hiking vacations in the mountains
Being on foot is the most sustainable way to get around. Especially if you follow a few rules. First and foremost is the principle: Leave no Trace. This means that as a hiker you stay on the trails so as not to disturb nature and animals. You take your own garbage back with you and if possible also that of others. And it is best to travel by public transport to the starting point.
Sustainability and durability should also be considered when it comes to hiking equipment. After all, the less we have to buy new, the less has to be produced. Last but not least, hikers also need somewhere to sleep. Many hotels in hiking regions offer everything the heart desires for this: spaces to store equipment, drying rooms for shoes and jackets, and cozy bedrooms to relax in.
Sustainable hiking hotels worldwide
Many hiking hotels set sustainable standards for their hotel as a matter of course. Hiking is in their DNA and that includes protecting nature. For example, sustainable hiking hotels like Green Pearls partners often provide transfers from the nearest train station. Rooms feature furniture made from local woods, food is regional and seasonal, and energy comes from sustainable and renewable sources.
