Discover A committed region

The natural wealth of Leman Mountains Explore makes it an exceptional area to protect. The Communauté de Communes, aware of the uniqueness of its environment, is undertaking a number of initiatives to preserve it by reconciling the protection of natural areas, human and agricultural activities, the development of leisure activities and raising awareness.

Sustainable development

A pioneer in terms of sustainable development, the Communauté de Communes Pays d’Evian Vallée d’Abondance, CCPEVA, has included the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in its territorial strategy. In 2024, it was awarded the 2-star Territoire Engagé Climat-Air-Energie label for its energy and climate policy, and is also recognised as a Territoire engagé pour la Nature by the OFB, the French Office for Biodiversity.

Other labels testify to this collective sustainable development approach:
