More and more people have discovered the mountains for themselves. That is why it is important that we take care to ensure that mountain regions like Goms remain as beautiful as they are today. In ten simple points, the Goms Nature Confession shows how we can do this together.
In Goms we greet farmers and alpine herdsmen in a friendly manner, take care to close fences and follow the rules of conduct towards mother cows and guard dogs. To protect the deer, hares and birds, we stay on the signposted hiking and biking trails.
When we buy local, we support the local economy and avoid long transportation distances. It also allows us to enjoy delicious Gommer specialties.
Animals in the Goms need rest at night just like we do. Therefore it is important that we do not enter any wildlife rest areas and only spend the night outdoors where it is allowed. By the way, in Goms there are many campings and pitches.
When we are out in nature, we never leave litter behind, but take it with us and dispose of it correctly. Because garbage has no place in the mountains or in the forest.
We are committed to sharing and borrowing rather than buying again and again in order to sustainably conserve our planet's resources and create a future based on solidarity. An open bookcase comes in handy.
We recognize the importance of realistic self-assessment and take the time to consider our physical fitness, experience and competence in the mountains. By preparing responsibly for our mountain trips, we protect not only our own safety, but also that of those who accompany us.
Every bite counts. That is why we take care to avoid food waste. In the store we buy only what we will really use. In restaurants we only order as much as we can eat.
We always treat each other with tolerance and respect, whether as bikers or hikers. We are aware that the mountains and the valley are a valuable asset for all of us, which must be protected. Therefore, it is important that we give each other space and consideration to enjoy our shared experience of nature to the fullest.
With the MGBahn and the Postauto you can get everywhere in Goms. During the trip you can admire the rustic villages. Traveling by public transport through the Goms is a real experience - and very easy - even with luggage and bike. So we travel by public transport whenever possible.
Especially in the warm and dry summer season, special care is needed when lighting a fire. We use only marked fireplaces and extinguish the embers when we leave the place. We also respect the fire bans and make sure that we are aware of the current forest fire danger in the canton ton.
