Responsible travel

OutBreak Adventure aim to offer fun and challenging holidays, while minimising our environmental impact as we do so. To a degree we are reliant on motor vehicles and air travel, although we suggest train travel as a great alternative and an excellent way to begin your holiday. Below is a summary of our responsible travel policy for each region.

Moroccan High Atlas - Probably the most important region for us to adopt a responsible attitude, we have partnered with a local charitable organisation, the AAZ, to minimise the negative impact we have on the wonderful Zat valley, where our Moroccan holidays are based.

French Pyrenees - Our holidays in the Eastern French Pyrenees are based at an environmentally friendly converted fruit farm, Can-llouquette. Here we use water directly from the local water source and grey water is captured and filtered from our own stream, removing our reliance on bottled and processed water. Almost all rubbish is recycled and any food waste is composted (or eaten by the resident donkey!). Fruit and veg is sourced from the local market or our own veggie patch, where possible.

French Alps - We also make an significant effort with our accommodation and catering in the French Alps, recycling all food packaging and sourcing the majority of our fruit and vegetables from the local village market.

Over the years we have also become a part of the local communities where we run our holidays and our guests are encouraged to consider their environmental impact and to contribute to the local economy when making any purchases while on holiday.
