Respect the Mountains and KEEN Footwear join forces this summer in the Alps. Two fantastic locations in the biggest and busiest mountain chain in Western Europe are the stage of the EnviroTrek. The EnviroTrek is an outdoor sports event in which adventure sports and doing something back for the mountain environment is the central theme.
The route the participants are doing will (partly) be cleaned from litter. Besides that, the outdoor lovers make an image story that shows the current condition of the mountain environment, the good and the bad. The clean up and image story go along with challenging outdoor sports such as via ferrata, rock climbing, mountain biking and rafting.
The 29th of July 2009 the very first EnviroTrek takes place in Mayrhofen, Austria. The 26th of August the base camp of outdoor action is Vallée du Giffre in the French Haute Savoie. The events are co-ordinated by Seasonality in Mayrhofen and AlpAdventures in Samoëns.
“Create, play and care” are the keywords during the EnviroTrek Clean Up Series. A day packed with creativity, sports and fun in a responsible way. KEEN Footwear and Respect the Mountains dedicate themselves to the care for natural treasures like the Alps, so future generations can enjoy this great mountain range.
“Keep your playground clean!” is the motto.
