Hello Auguste!

Who am I and why ALLEGRA?

I have dual training as a spatial planner and tourism manager and a great passion for mountain biking, nature, and outdoor sports in general. I want to share this passion with as many people as possible. However, I am aware of the interests that must be considered when planning new infrastructure in nature, in addition to tourist appeal.
What motivates me is early communication and dialogue with all stakeholders: from project sponsors to cantonal biologists, forest engineers, and farmers, as well as cantonal spatial planners and property owners. In Switzerland, thanks to publicly available geodata, preliminary investigations are a powerful lever for developing sound solutions early on.

Here, everyone is defending their position, so it's important to always find the most balanced solution and clearly justify it with field data, strategic, or regulatory justifications. The areas are limited and valuable, and their use must be carefully planned. I apply this method with varying degrees of complexity depending on the project, but it's always valuable. Once you decide to move forward with planning, I believe it's important to work hand in hand with specialized environmental and spatial planning firms to find solutions and accelerate processes. This is precisely where ALLEGRA offers the ideal framework for implementing this method on a project-by-project basis.
