At Camping Les 3 Lacs SA, our objective is to adopt a sustainable approach whenever possible. We firmly believe that conscious and responsible behavior starts in everyday life, particularly through the purchase and consumption of local products and the use of environmentally friendly materials. It was therefore essential for us to enhance our heritage and implement actions that promote eco-responsible practices within our campsite. Following the acquisition of the “CO2 & KWH REDUCED” label from the Energy Agency for the Economy (AEnEC), we are very proud to announce that we are working this year on integrating the Swisstainable sustainability program:

This program highlights our commitment and our determination to improve our practices in the following areas:

• Quality of management
• Social balance
• Ecology and efficient resource management
• Financial health and commercial policy
• Regional integration

Of course, we continue our efforts to further improve and to satisfy you a little more each year through both small and significant changes:
