Sustainable tourism
To reconcile the need to welcome the public with respect for the environment, the Merlet wildlife park has set up a daily quota to manage the large number of visitors. Electricity is generated locally using photovoltaic panels and a small hydroelectric power station. The park also recycles flyers and is committed to a zero-waste approach, with selective sorting and actions to reduce dustbins as much as possible.
Don't forget to take the free shuttle bus from Les Houches train station!
