Discover A committed territory

The natural riches of Leman Mountains Explore make it an exceptional area to protect. The Communauté de Communes, aware of the uniqueness of its environment, has undertaken a number of initiatives to preserve it, reconciling protection of natural areas, human and agricultural activities, development of leisure activities and awareness-raising.

Sustainable development

A pioneer in terms of sustainable development, the Communauté de Communes Pays d’Evian Vallée d’Abondance, CCPEVA, has included the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in its territorial strategy. In 2024, it was awarded the Territoire Engagé Climat-Air-Energie 2-star label for its energy and climate policy, and is also recognized as a Territoire engagé pour la Nature by the OFB, Office Français de la Biodiversité.

Other labels testify to this collective sustainable development approach:

  • Pavillon bleu for the beaches of Publier, Neuvecelle, Evian and Saint-Gingolph
  • Station Verte for Bernex, Thollon-les-Mémises, Publier and Saint-Gingolph
  • Accueil Vélo for Bernex and Saint-Gingolph

The preservation of resources is a strong commitment on the part of those working in the field, with a wide range of actions across the region.

An Espaces Valléens territory

Aware of the need to act on environmental issues, the Leman Mountains Explore Intercommunal Tourist Office has launched a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative within its structure to work on the impact of its activities on the environment and society. The Pays d’Evian Vallée d’Abondance is also an Espaces Valléens area, with the aim of promoting the area as a place to live, develop seasonal wings and diversify activities to meet new customer expectations.

Responsible, sustainable tourism

The impact of tourism on the environment is a major concern for local stakeholders. Leman Mountains Explore is committed to a responsible and sustainable approach to tourism. On every page, you’ll find the right tip or environmental touch for the area.
