As part of their commitment to preserving alpine ecosystems, the Foehn Endowment Fund and the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc are offering a series of workshops dedicated to discovering and respecting wildlife during the winter season.
Examples of topics covered:
– Animal biology and life: better understanding them to better respect them.
– Adaptation strategies of mountain animals in winter: understanding the survival mechanisms of species in a demanding environment.
– Best practices: minimizing human impact on mountain wildlife.
Led by mountain guides from the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix, these workshops combine an educational and scientific approach to blend the enjoyment of the mountains with the preservation of biodiversity.
Workshops are limited to a maximum of 10 people per workshop.
The workshops are held every Wednesday from December 24, 2025, to March 25, 2026.
