Heritage path, castles crossing
"This project is part of the plan PARCOURS": As part of the plan, the project aims to complement the other single projects and intends to enhance some sites of the construction heritage, able to expand the local tourist offer, rich in natural routes and sporting activities (Espace Mont Blanc). The aim is to stimulate the attractiveness of the cross-border area by guiding visitors in their discovery of this cross-border territory, its resources and specificities. In this context, the expected results provide positive socio-economic benefits in the territory concerned.

This plan, supported by the Departmental Council of the Hautes-Savoie, is integrated in the field of Mont-Blanc’s Space. This plan covers a large part of Mont-Blanc’s Space and goes over peripheric territories, where tourism is less developed. This Plan cover 71 towns and 200 000 inhabitants, a territory which have a natural heritage clearly defined (natural park, 9 natural reserves, 13 protected areas) and valorised yet from a touristic point of view (400 paths for biking or walking). The PITER wants to promote this natural and cultural heritage to enforce local development, including low valleys.
