Promoting sustainable mobility at the local level to support development of tourism and economic competitiveness. This is the objective of the Agreement signed in Courmayeur between the Valle d’Aosta Autonomous Region, the Town of Courmayeur and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), based on which CDP will provide assistance and consulting services to local authorities in assessing the sustainability of the New Alpine Transport initiative proposed by the municipality and aimed at creating new links and infrastructure.
The Agreement implements the provisions of the Regional Economic and Financial Document (DEFR) for the three-year period 2024-2026, which envisages differentiated measures to be applied in the cableway sector based on size and local, national or international importance of ski resorts, downhill and cross-country skiing, allowing everyone to successfully adapt to environmental, economic and social changes with a view to sustainability. This will be accompanied by the opportunity to explore innovative and replicable alternative mobility solutions in mountainous areas such as Valdigne, which will be analysed by CDP.
For the Town of Courmayeur, the agreement is an initial concrete step in assessing the feasibility of a proposed study on a revolutionary project for comprehensive urban transport in the area. A plan that looks to the future, with a focus on environmental protection, reduction of traffic to the valleys and financial sustainability, aiming to reposition and relaunch the Alpine resort at the foot of Mont Blanc on international markets with a highly innovative offer.
