The Valley takes a proactive stance with regard to the development of public transport and soft or electric mobility, it promotes energy- efficient improvements for existing buildings by providing significant administrative and financial support for energy retrofit projects. 2 THE CHAMONIX MONT-BLANC VALLEY: A UNIQUE SITE We live in a land of extremes: high peaks, imposing glaciers, considerable altitude differences, huge variations in temperature, high exposure to natural risks, an acute sensitivity to climate change and different forms of pollution: the Chamonix Valley is a place unlike any other. Bestowed with an exceptional geography, the Chamonix Valley lies between two mountain ranges, (the Mont-Blanc and Aiguilles rouges Massifs) and four glaciers, including France’s largest glacier, Mer de Glace, with a 2500 m vertical drop. The Valley extends over about thirty kilometres, from Servoz to Vallorcine via Les Houches and Chamonix. Vertically, it extends over close to 4000 metres. At an altitude of 1035 metres, Chamonix is one of France’s largest municipalities, covering more than 115 km2. The valley is home to about 15,000 permanent residents who need to be mobile, to heat their homes and to go about their business on a daily basis... As one of the most visited natural sites in the world, largely due to the notoriety of Mont Blanc, western Europe’s highest summit, the Valley attracts millions of tourists, climbers and mountaineers every year. The Chamonix Valley is also located at one extremity of the Mont-Blanc tunnel (which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015) on a strategic European axis. Some 2 million vehicles drive through the tunnel every year. All these factors contribute to making the Chamonix Valley a unique place, a real “in situ” laboratory for climate change, where specific measures need to be taken.

It concerns transport, energy and housing. Most of its actions are detailed in this press release. Considered a territory of excellence for energy and ecological transition, the Chamonix valley has been awarded the TEPOS and TEPCV labels. In acknowledgement of the actions undertaken in the region, the Chamonix valley is considered both a Positive Energy Territory (TEPOS) and a Positive Energy Territory for Green Growth (TEPCV). As Éric Fournier explains, “these two labels are the recognition of several years of commitment by the area to adapt its activities, making them more energy efficient whilst reducing pollution factors”. 4 TIMELINE OF COMMITMENTS TO SUSTAINABILITY Well before the creation of the community of communes (2010), the Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley pursued a bold environmental and energy policy. 1998 • First cross-border campaign of local air pollution • Implementation of the “Better Living” programme for measurements, conducted jointly by l’Air des deux energy renovation (modest households).

  • Cluses, France Beaverton’S Sister City Since 1999
    Cluses, France Beaverton’s sister city since 1999 ISing Choir’s benefit concert in Cluses Sunset over the city Hotel de’Ville in Cluses Overview: Located halfway between Geneva and Mont Blanc in southeastern France, Cluses is a small but vital stop for any outdoor enthusiast. Although it has historic agricultural roots, Cluses is also located in Frances’s “Technic Valley” and is a hot spot for blossoming enterprises. Fun Facts: • Cluses became an independent commune on May 4, 1310. • Cluses is famous for their Azye wine, Magland sausage and Reblochon cheese. • Watchmaking is imbedded in Cluses’ history since the 18th century, and the Museum of Clock-Making and Bar-Tuning is solely dedicated to emphasizing this trait. • The two main events of Cluses are the “Musiques en Stock Festival,” a modern pop-rock festival, and the “Ampersand,” an annual book fair. • Cluses has two weekly Farmers Markets. • The Cluses L’atelier is a music concert hall with a rehearsal studio which may also be rented out to local musicians. Please visit www.BeavertonOregon.gov/SisterCities for more information. Words from a local: Cluses has a great location: we are only 15 minutes from the slopes and Annecy and Geneva is very close, too (about 30 – 40 minutes). Italy, Switzerland and Germany are also not very far away. When visiting Cluses, you must travel to nearby Chamonix to see Mont Blanc and Annecy, home to Europe’s most beautiful and purest lake. We have to travel outside the city because it’s very small and we don’t have any big stores.

  • CP RATP Annemasse VA
    PRESS RELEASE 11 February 2019 THE RATP GROUP LAUNCHES ITS FIRST MAAS APP IN ANNEMASSE An ‘all-in-one’ MaaS (Mobility as a Service) solution will provide a multimodal mobility experience for passengers on the TAC network operated by RATP Dev. The RATP group is set to launch a new version of the TAC Mobilités mobile app via its RATP Dev subsidiary and Annemasse Agglo. The app collects theoretical and/or real-time public transport information in the Annemasse area (TAC network, car sharing and SNCF) and Geneva (TPG and CFF networks) to provide a multimodal service. The new version of the TAC Mobilités mobile app has a single gateway to real-time local travel options covering complementary modes of transport: TAC and TPG public transport, carpooling, taxis and parking spaces. E-tickets for the TAC network, available on another app since autumn 2017, are also stored in the app. Thanks to this new integration, passengers can now find travel information and buy and validate tickets in one app. Future app developments to come in 2019 include adding new modes of transport managed by different operators and integrating mobile payment options, aiming to create an advanced MaaS solution. This new mobile app is the RATP group’s first real ‘MaaS’ solution offering all passenger services (information, journey planning, purchases/bookings, ticket validation) for multiple modes of transport: public transport, car sharing, carpooling, taxis and parking spaces. According to Laurence Batlle, RATP Dev Chief Executive Officer: "With this MaaS solution, RATP Dev is aiming to make transport accessible to all, no matter the time or place, by using all available public and private options to meet the needs of tomorrow’s cities ".

Abstract: The effect of COVID-19 confinement regulations on air quality in the northwestern Alps is assessed here based on measurements at five valley sites in different environmental contexts. Surface concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), together with a thorough microphysical (size), chemical, and optical (light absorption) aerosol characterisation, complemented by observations along the vertical column are considered. Even in the relatively pristine environment of the Alps, the «lockdown effect» is well discernible, both in the Citation: Diémoz, H.; Magri, T.; early confinement phase and in late 2020.

  • A Great Season, Everyone!
    GUIDE FOR SEASONAL WORKERS WINTER/SUMMER 2010-2011 HAVE A GREAT Pays du Mont-Blanc - Arve Valley SEASON Hello and welcome! 652,000 tourist beds 2nd most popular department for tourism in France From Mont Blanc and the Aravis mountains to the shores of Lake Léman and Lake Annecy, Haute-Savoie offers an idyllic setting for numerous seasonal employees. These workers help ensure enjoyable holidays for tourists from all over the globe. With the current economic climate showing signs of improvement, tourism remains the number one job creation sector in Haute Savoie, showing expansion in the hospitality and ski lift industries. Tourism is an industry that can’t be relocated overseas, and thus represents a vital asset for the future. Since 2007, the public authorities (national government, Regional Councils, and General Councils), elected officials, labour and management groups, and all players involved in social issues (C.A.F., C.P.A.M., M.S.A., subsidized housing, occupational health services) have mobilized to promote seasonal employment as a priority for the department, notably including it in a goals charter. With this framework in mind, and to ensure that seasonal workers « have a good season », the regions of Pays du Mont Blanc and Chablais have mobilized to welcome these employees by means of the Chamonix « Espace Saisonnier » (centre for seasonal workers) and the Chablais « Point Accueil Saisonnier » (information desk for seasonal workers). On a larger scale, Haute-Savoie strives to inform seasonal workers more thoroughly by publishing this guide. Here, employees and employers will find answers to a variety of questions that may concern them, including training, employment, working conditions, health, and housing.
