This study provides an analysis of the learning environment in the context of geoscientific mediation activities in situation of walking tours (guided or not). This research focuses on three topics that constitute the learning geo-environment: the public, the site, the media (physical or material) and the interaction between these poles. In this context, the interests and expectations of the audience are investigated, knowledge of the geology and geomorphology are also highlighted. The site is studied through criteria that constitute its geo-learning potential and the media is studied in its role as a link between audience and site. Studied areas gather multiple paths located in the Jura range (Regional Natural Park of Jura) and in the Valais Alps, on the left bank of the Rhone river.
