Chamonix management

Keen to promote responsible tourism as a means

of balancing the demands of tourism with the need to protect the environment

Local authority provides environmentally

friendly transport service with clean energy buses and free public transport

Espace Mont-Blanc involves cooperation between

France Italy and Switzerland on issues of international transport, nature

conservation, forests and water resources

Tomorrow’s valley brings together

representatives from local community and tourist groups to plan for sustainable

management:

burying service networks such as underground

electricity lines

renovating and preserving historic building and

monuments

preserving natural wetlands and peat bogs

minimising impact of skiing on the landscape by

planting trees and using local building materials that lend in with the natural

environment

maintaining and way-marking footpaths and

cleaning rivers (seasonal employment for the locals)

supporting local traditional employment sectors,

particularly farming
