The introduction of this beautiful place in Trentino, is the startint point to boost other destinations to become interested on promoting a more sustainable type of tourism. As a matter of fact, with effort and commitment, every destination can meet the strict criteria of the Alpine Pearls about slow mobility.
The Alpe Cimbra aims to a more sustainable tourism
Karl Birti, Councillor of the City of Lavarone, for 5 years has been committed to promoting a sustainable and innovative mobility project. Following his idea, the mayor of Lavarone pursued the nomination, also involving the Community of the Cimbrian Highlands and the Mayors of Folgaria and Lusérn.
Promoting a different kind of tourism, respectful of the environment, was already the focus of Lavarone. It is no wonder, in fact, if for a couple of years this beautiful lake has received the Blue Flag of Europe award. In addition, there are several measures taken by the Library of Lavarone to raise awareness about sustainable tourism.
Following the path of the Alpine Pearls, Alpe Cimbra is thus committed to promoting slow mobility. Also, its aim is to protect nature, in order to make people more interested in doing an eco-friendly vacation. Nowadays, things are changing and more and more people try to travel in a sustainable way; consequently, this is what inspires the Alpine Pearls: giving people what they really want. As a matter of fact, we are talking about wonderful locations, surrounded by unspoilt nature.
