Sustainability at Feuer und Eis Touristik
Our Contribution to Responsible Travel Experiences in Nature
As an organizer of active nature tours, it is particularly important to us to protect and care for the landscapes and regions we visit, and to preserve them for future travelers. That is why we make a point of supporting local communities and minimizing our environmental impact whenever possible.
Here’s what we’re actually doing:
Travelife
We are a member of Travelife and are working step by step toward meeting international sustainability standards. We aim to obtain “Travelife Partner” certification by 2027.
Regional purchases
We make our purchases locally and work with regional partners.
Support for associations
We support the Bergwaldprojekt e.V. with a donation of 5 euros per booking. In addition, we have supported the Wildes Bayern e.V. organization in the past through a fundraising campaign and free advertising.
Sending the Travel Documents
We ship our travel documents via DHL GoGreen. DHL offsets the transportation-related CO2e emissions generated by shipping through investments in climate protection projects.
Bundling of transfers
We try to consolidate transfer trips (luggage or passenger transfers) as much as possible. This allows us to combine multiple trips and avoid unnecessary individual trips.
Selected Hotel Partnerships
When carefully selecting our hotel partners, we also pay attention to the sustainability measures they communicate and implement, and, whenever possible, we work with partners who can demonstrate concrete sustainability initiatives.
Digital Tour Program
As of 2023, we no longer offer a printed travel catalog; instead, we present our full range of offerings exclusively in digital form on our website.
Measures in the Office
At our Rottach-Egern location on Lake Tegernsee, we use green electricity. We also rely on reusable materials: the restrooms are equipped with washable towels for drying hands, and we get our drinking water straight from the tap, carbonating it ourselves as needed.
Company bicycles
Company bicycles are available for our employees to use free of charge.
