 We are collaborating with the close regions like Piemonte, Savoie (F), Valais (CH) and we had relationship with other French regions as Rhône Alpes.

 Aosta Valley is an alpine region with about 135.000 inhabitants. The agriculture is the 2% of the DGP and the economy is based mainly on services, especially tourism. With almost the 30% of its surface as natural protected areas Aosta Valley is an interesting destination for new outdoor practices, integrated with rural economy. Hiking, climbing and other forms of sport could develop in a context where farms and rural settlement offer new opportunities of accommodation. The region is well provided of path and green way, some of them with a huge value in nature and history (via Francigena, via Alpina, great alpine tours like Mont Blanc Tour). Agricultural areas are embedded in a territory with a lot of ancient monuments, from the Megalithic period to the Middle Age.  High peaks, shimmering glaciers, blue lakes, large forests converge to create a wonderful landscape in a small regional extension (3.260 sqkm). The community has preserved ancient costumes and a strong tradition with several important fairs and events. Rural stakeholders take an important place in this system and they contribute to produce and sell very genuine foods and wines.
The aim of the project is to share with other European areas best practices to create networks of accommodation (B&B, Hostels, farm holidays).

 We are looking for partners interested in sustainable tourism and slow mobility. We are especially interested in these countries: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Ukraine, Austria, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Slovak Republic. Kind: Local development agencies, Universities Environment and Economics Department, GAL, etc.
