Company’s commitment to conservation of biodiversity and local development
At Casa de La Montaña, we are fully aware of the need to take care of the environment and respect our surroundings and are committed to ecotourism. Therefore:
- We collaborate with the Bearded Vulture Foundation, informing guests about their activity and promoting visits to their centre by providing tickets to groups of interest (those in family programmes, visiting with the Asturian Centre of Mexico sports club, schools, etc.)
- We also introduce guests to traditional occupations in our area through our programmes, including visits to local cheese dairies that make Gamonedo cheese and organising trips to the pastures of the Picos de Europa, especially those in our municipality of Onís.
