The Cross-border Park RAN has the aim to enhance and promote the tourist image of the areas involved in the program Italy/Austria, with a particular attention to the period from March till November, to improve these intermediate seasons, which are often overlooked by traditional tourism.
To reach this goal the choice is to promote trail running and skyrunning, which are constantly growing and attracting even more enthusiasts. Trail running in particular is a form of sustainable active tourism, practicable all year round in the areas below 1,000 meters altitude and for most of the year even in the highest areas.
