L'Auberge Nordique makes a commitment to biodiversity

Have you noticed our educational beehive!
The Auberge has installed a hive for our little pollinating insects to help preserve the natural environment.
It's well established that our friends the bees encourage plant biodiversity, which in turn feeds some of the wild animals that can be found in the Alps.

At the Auberge, we take our mission seriously, and will share our knowledge of this beehive with you during your stay.

A conscious restoration

Towards local, committed cuisine!

L'Auberge Nordique is innovating in its management of food waste by working with a local player to transform its compost into biogas, a renewable energy source that is then used to generate electricity. Alongside selective sorting, this innovative approach not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also actively contributes to preserving the environment by adopting sustainable energy practices.

In addition, committed to promoting local agriculture and supporting regional producers, Auberge Nordique works closely with local farmers. This privileged cooperation ensures that a significant proportion of the ingredients used in the kitchen come from local sources, thus reducing the emissions linked to the transport of food products. By promoting product quality, this initiative also supports the regional economy.

Auberge Nordique is also adding a new dimension to its food policy by offering a vegetarian menu at least once a week. This move is part of a strategy to reduce meat consumption, aimed at raising customers' awareness of the environmental footprint of meat consumption while offering a delicious gastronomic alternative that respects the planet. This significant addition reflects the inn's commitment to sustainable food.
