Sustainability

Leave No Trace, support local

We reinvest in the places we guide and keep our footprint light.

Our three pillars

The foundation of everything we do

Leave No Trace

We practice and teach Leave No Trace principles on every trip. Pack in, pack out—no exceptions.

  • All waste carried out, including organic materials
  • Stay on established trails to prevent erosion
  • No picking plants or disturbing wildlife
  • Minimize campfire impact—use stoves when possible

Local Partnerships

We work exclusively with local businesses, keeping tourism revenue in Bosnian communities.

  • Family-run mountain huts and guesthouses
  • Local transport operators and drivers
  • Regional food producers and restaurants
  • Bosnian-made equipment when available

Trail Maintenance

A portion of every tour goes directly to maintaining the trails and places we love.

  • Annual trail cleanup days with local clubs
  • Signage repair and replacement funding
  • Support for youth climbing programs
  • Mountain hut maintenance contributions

Beyond the basics

Additional ways we minimize our impact

Minimal waste operations

Digital-first booking, reusable equipment, and bulk supplies reduce our operational footprint.

Seasonal sensitivity

We respect wildlife breeding seasons and alpine meadow recovery periods in our route planning.

Education first

Every guest leaves understanding why these mountains matter and how to protect them.
