Study visits in Moûtiers and Val Thorens, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in France

Euromontana’s Board of Directors met on 7 and 8 March 2018, in Moûtiers, Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region, France. Moûtiers is a town of less than 4,000 inhabitants, located at 481 meters above sea level in the Tarentaise valley, located in the French département of Savoie.

Two study visits were organised by Fabrice Pannekoucke, Mayor of Moûtiers, Vice-President of the Regional Council of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and member of Euromontana’s Board of Directors; and by Geneviève Borodine, Project Manager for the region. The members of Euromontana’s Board of Directors went to visit the dairy cooperative in Moûtiers, which produces the Beaufort, a PDO cheese (Protected Designation of Origin) and Val Thorens, a ski station in the 3 Vallées, the highest ski resort in France, located at 2,300 meters above sea level.

These study visits enabled to better understand local realities and to see an innovative business model that keeps this region dynamic and attractive.
