With the wind in their face and the sun on their back, guests of Fairmont bike, hike, paddle and zip-line through the many parks, forests and wilderness trails that make Fairmont's worldwide collection of hotels and resorts the only game in town for serious nature enthusiasts.

Paying tribute to UNESCO's 2011 International Year of the Forest designation, Fairmont has whittled out Take Root at Fairmont travel packages, offers and experiences that reinforce and reflect the brand's decades-long commitment to combining responsible tourism and environmental stewardship.

Fairmont invites guests to explore the world's forests - from the mangroves of Abu Dhabi, to the Rocky Mountain foothills and the decidedly urban landscape of New York's Central Park.
