Chambery: a beautiful city, very active for the sustainable development of the Alpine area. Transport and mobility rank top of the priorities, told us the Major Mrs Laclais and the former Minister Luis Besson.

Hello dear Superalpiners !
It was really nice to share these two days with you. Unfortunately I had to leave you and to take another train for Feldkirch, in Vorarlberg, because of an international CIPRA workshop about climate change tomorrow. Of course, I continue to use sustainable means of transport!
The best way for travelling and discovering the Alps!
I wish you a wonderful trip...and I hope it will stop raining !
Best regards !
Alexandre - CIPRA France
