This project aimed at developing several geotourist products for the promotion of Tsanfleuron glacio-karstic area (Valais): (1) Elaboration of a series of didactic panels on geology, karstic processes, karstic hydrogeology, glacier retreat and human impacts on karst; (2) Preparation of a geomorphology course for primary school children (on a digital support); (3) Elaboration of a geotourist map of the region.
