Refuge du Taillefer par Oulles

Isère ()

Oisans Tourisme

Description

The Taillefer Plateau is a Natura 2000 site, where many species of flora and fauna are protected and sensitive, so we need to adapt our behavior so that the landscape and biodiversity continue to amaze us:
- I stay on the marked trails (paint, signs...). I don't take shortcuts that cause soil erosion, destroy vegetation and disturb wildlife and herds.
- I keep my dog on a leash to avoid disturbing wildlife and domestic herds.
- I don't make fires in the mountains. It destroys the soil for decades.
- I bivouac outside wetlands and pitch my tent at suitable times (7pm-9am).
- I don't litter.
- I don't pick flowers. I prefer a lasting souvenir by taking a photo.
- I ask about private ownership of certain areas.
