The Les Balcons de Val Cenis Le Haut*** residence located in the Maurienne valley has just been awarded the Green Key certification, further recognition of our commitment to greener tourism.

A comprehensive approach to more sustainable tourism

Always mindful of the impact of our activities, we have historically placed environmental issues at the heart of our development and achievements.

 

In 2024, we took another step forward by structuring our commitment under the name Les Balcons Goes Green. This ambitious initiative aims to strengthen the environmental responsibility of our establishments in their daily operations.

The international Green Key label, recognised for its stringent criteria in terms of sustainable tourism, rewards our efforts and encourages us to continue and intensify our approach.
