Elaboration of projects for car-free and barrier-free connections
In addition to the criteria required by GSTC for tourist destinations, Val Gardena aims to reach tangible goals by 2026. These include creating a Mobility Centre which will develop projects for car-free and accessible connections; reducing traffic on mountain passes (Gardena Pass and Sella Pass), expanding bicycle paths on the mountain passes, increasing arrival on public transport, double e-charging stations, expanding renewable energy sources for businesses, reducing printed material and use of plastic.
Moreover, Val Gardena is working with the province of South Tyrol on the "Klimaland Südtirol" and the "KlimaPlan Energie – Südtirol 2050" initiatives to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the Paris Agreement climate goals.
