The environmental ecosystem of the Alps is very fragile. With the increase in the number of hikers, the environmental vegetation and animals and plants are threatened. During the hiking process, try to follow the guide's footsteps to avoid taking shortcuts and stepping on vegetation. At the same time, it should be noted that the fruit peel paper, etc. brought are all brought into the high mountain wooden house; discard according to the garbage classification; although the fruit peel is degradable, it is basically impossible to degrade in the mountainous environment.
