Our Commitments

At La Folie Douce, we love to party and delight your taste buds, but we're just as serious when it comes to protecting our favorite playground: the mountains! For over 50 years, we’ve been having fun at the top, but we also want to ensure these peaks remain as majestic for future generations.

Concrete actions for the environment

Eco Warriors

We’ve decided to go into eco-warrior mode (but always with style).

No more single-use plastic, and hello eco-cups for toasting with champagne and rosé! Our deliveries? They arrive by gondolas because driving is so last season. And for our staff, it’s all about public transport because the more we share, the more fun it is (and the greener it gets).

Zero Waste

When it comes to food, we’ve said goodbye to waste.

Didn’t finish your meal? Take it home in a doggy bag and enjoy it later.

Local matters

And if you want local, we’ve got you covered:

Cheese from the nearby farm, artisanal charcuterie, and even the mulled wine comes from local friends. We work closely with local producers to offer locavore menus with clear traceability of every product. Sixty percent of our ingredients come from local, French, or Italian agriculture, always respectful of the seasons. Everything is homemade, catering to all dietary preferences, with vegetarian and vegan options clearly identified.

Responsible
partnerships

partnerships

We’ve also launched mini-documentaries on our YouTube and Instagram channels to highlight our producers and encourage our guests to buy directly from them.
Some of our trusted partners
  • Cheese: Ferme de l’Adroit, La Coopérative de Haute Tarentaise, Les Caves d'Affinage de Savoie (who collect our organic waste to feed the farm's pigs)
  • Charcuterie: Maison Baud
  • Ciders and fruit juices: Thomas Le Prince
  • Water: Bonneval
  • Mulled wine: Cavaillé
  • Fruits and vegetables: producers from Provence

Zéro waste

an ambitious goal
We’re not stopping there. We’ve launched the "Adopt' 1 Spot" program with a clear goal: a mountain free of wild waste by 2030.
In collaboration with Mountain Riders and the Carlsberg Group, we’re rallying everyone, from employees to customers, to clean up mountain waste. Thanks to this initiative, 325 kg of waste has already been collected in two years. We also organize awareness workshops to promote responsible practices and run regular campaigns to protect this precious environment.

Commitment to our team

Because La Folie Douce is also a big family, we take care of our team.
On-site housing to reduce commuting, meals for all tastes (yes, even for vegans), and certified training with renowned chefs like Michel Rostang, Fanny Rey, and Nicolas Sale. Our employees also benefit from English classes, management training, and first aid certification (PSC1) to ensure everyone’s safety.

    Safety and responsible partying

    Partying also means safety.
    We encourage the use of gondolas for a safe return after a day or night of partying. When it comes to alcohol, responsible consumption is a priority. We regularly remind everyone of the importance of drinking in moderation and looking out for one another.

    In short, at La Folie Douce, the mountains are beautiful, the parties are wild, and our commitment to the planet? It’s as serious as our desire to make you feel alive. So, are you ready to join the movement and party sustainably?
