We do this together with Elena Landi, of the Region of Valle d&#8217;Aosta, which has been defined by many the &#8216;Alpine Pearls&#8217; mother.<\/p>\n<h2>When did\u00a0the project Alpine Pearls come to life?<\/h2>\n<p>In 1999 it was necessary to deepen the relationship between tourism and sustainable mobility in the Alpine territories. Thus it started a European project led by Austria and Valle d&#8217;Aosta. After the project, which lasted a few years and was called &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alpsmobility.net\/main_frame.htm?it\" target=\"_blank\">Alps Mobility<\/a>&#8216;, we were looking for realities that were\u00a0actually trying to put into practice the principles of sustainable mobility. They were therefore named the first Alpine Pearls. The official constitution of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpine-pearls.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">association Alpine Pearls<\/a> took place in Vienna in 2006. The idea at the time was truly innovative. Today the word &#8220;sustainability&#8221; is often overused. But after\u00a010 years, Alpine Pearls distance are a project that continues to have substance and is increasingly topical.<\/p>\n<h2>What was the main difficulty faced?<\/h2>\n<p>Surely the diversity of language, culture and traditions. The different starting position of each territory was really an obstacle. For this initial dialogue is not easy, indeed quite the opposite. We worked hard to find common and shared points. We traveled hundreds of kilometers to meet and discuss, did meetings everywhere, even in the sauna!<\/p>\n<h2>What are the most unexpected successes of Alpine Pearls?<\/h2>\n<p>We managed to create something unique and recognizable: the Alpine Pearls. Chamois-La Magdeleine or Cogne resorts are unique, different, but united by a strong focus on sustainability.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11351\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-11351\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/chamois-375838_1920-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Chamois, Aosta Valley.
