The Garins site and its refuge has an undeniable economic and social value for the Bauges massif because they are part of an approach of valorisation and environmental education, policies favourable to homelessness and full nature tourism, in perfect coherence with the notion of “preservedmassive” and “values” defended by the Regional Natural Park of the Bauges massif, classified Geopark by UNESCO. The project consists of renovating this communal tourist accommodation establishment in order to position it strongly as a “Initiation Refuge” for group as an individual, where the gentle roaming in the mountains, the discovery of the natural and cultural heritage of medium mountain as well as the reception for all will be made more attractive by the comfort of the cottage, and which will be accompanied by a dynamic tourism project with local actors (PNR, tourist office, etc.).
