Tourist offices Haute-Savoie

There are 350 sports events each year in Haute-Savoie in an exceptional and sensitive natural environment. Sustainable development is becoming a major concern of the organizers. Led by the departmental directorate of youth and sports, a charter has just been developed for organisers who are anxious to obtain a label in the implementation of specific actions. The idea is to move from a mere signatory to the charter, to the label "standard" and then to "excellence". The goal is to share on the Internet initiatives taken by actors, sort of box box for each event.

One of the main commitments is the decrease in transport caused by the event, the use of ephemeral markup, the criminalization of participants polluters, the use of low-packaged products, the recovery of waste, the privilege of a local partnership…

The first charters were signed in the fall of 2008: Raid raid, Faverges, Mont-Blanc Ultra Trail, Sommand eco-trail, TWF Millet raid, Red Needles trail, Adventure Chablaisienne multi-modal raid and the Nordic ski world cup in La Clusaz.

Caravaneige is not a novelty and has long been practised in the French Alps. The sites are perfectly equipped to warmly receive campers who wish to live the mountain at their own pace.

Nernier is a poetic commune with medieval lake architecture. The beautiful vineyards covered by vineyards make us think of Marcel Pagnol's'castle '. Maybe we're understanding why so many painters and poets stayed in Nernier. One of the most famous was Lamartine.
