The Community of Communes of the Giffre Mountains’ maintenance service has been observing and deploring the deliberate degradation of many directional beacons over the past weeks. This year, the phenomenon appears to be unprecedented.
“We do our best to restore the signage that is damaged as quickly as possible. Manager Aurelien Mahaut explains that this comes at a cost to the community and is a waste time and energy for their team.
Cyril Cathelineau was elected to be the environment manager at the CCMG. “Our network of trails is also a channel for mountain bikers and hikers,” he said. The impact of marking on sensitive areas and mountain pastures is reduced. Security is another important aspect. If the user doesn’t have accurate information, they can get lost. It is unfortunate that some people penalize hikers and the tourism economy by their recklessness and inconsistency.
The CCMG is available to hear complaints from residents if they are dissatisfied with the route layout.
