Eco-friendly campsite in Vésubie Valley
Sustainable tourism in Camping Les Templiers
Due to our proximity to the Mercantour National Park and the Natura 2000 area of Roquebillière, it was important to us to involve Camping Les Templiers into an ecological approach in order to promote sustainable tourism in the Vésubie valley.
Since the campsite change of owner in 2023, numerous actions have been carried out in this direction. These actions could be realised thanks to the support of the European project “First Mile Project“, whose main objective is to encourage, without constraint, tourists to opt for more ecological and more sustainable choices during their stay in the valley of the Vésubie.
Renewable energies
Because all energies are precious, at Camping Les Templiers we ensure that they are used reasonably.
Local products
Sustainable tourism involves promoting local artisans and producers. This is why, in our grocery store you will find many ORGANIC products made by valley producers.
Waste management
While waste management is one of the main ecological challenges for campsites, since 2023 Camping Les Templiers has drastically reduced its waste through numerous measures.
Animals are our friends
At the campsite we are also committed to animal welfare in order to avoid abandonment during holidays, whether through charitable aid to animal associations and by allowing you to come and camp with your little companions.
Solidarity actions
Sustainable tourism is also synonymous with exchanges, tolerance, open-mindedness and conviviality. As a campsite, we play a vital role in encouraging these exchanges and building great human relationships.
Alternative transportation
In our campsite with the “Accueil Vélo” (Bikes Welcome) label we promote the use of alternative transport (bus, carpooling, cycling, walking), whether to come to the campsite or to move around the valley during your stay.
Our projects
Because more sustainable tourism is built over time, we are committed to continuously improving the campsite through a number of ongoing and future projects, including:
- Increasing tree planting and natural hedges throughout the campsite
- Expanding rainwater collection systems for watering green spaces
- Reducing energy consumption wherever possible
- Renovating and improving existing facilities rather than replacing them unnecessarily
- Enhancing services and facilities for hikers and cyclists
- Developing additional amenities for guests travelling with pets
- Expanding the range of local products available in the campsite grocery shop
We recognise that every campsite, no matter its size, has an impact on its environment. Our goal is not to be perfect, but to keep moving Camping Les Templiers towards a more responsible, peaceful and people-focused form of tourism, in harmony with the Vésubie Valley that surrounds us.
