- Our Commitments
These lands are our home and we live here as the seasons change and generations go by!
Evian's natural environment is both our territory and our heritage, so naturally we pay close attention to it.
We wish to welcome you here in the most sustainable way possible.

Collaboration with the League for the Protection of Birds (LPO)
As part of its commitment to a sustainable development policy, since 2011 the Évian Resort has chosen to work wih the LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) by signing an agreement to become an LPO sanctuary, with regards to the grounds and gardens of the Royal, Ermitage hotels, Grange au Lac and La Verniaz hotels (from the end of 2025). We undertake to welcome, protect and promote biodiversity on our sites, prohibit hunting and fishing, and provide conditions that promote the health of the soil and wild animals and plants.
