The proposal aims at enhancing the cross-border territory of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Carinthia and Salzburg, increasing its external visibility and physical usability, preserving the environment and satisfying tourist mobility needs, considering primarily the current situation regarding accessibility to major attractions, and facilitating incoming users (by cycling and hiking) through the promotion and enhancement of existing public transport systems and the improvement of the overall Alpe Adria Radweg Cycle-Way. A proposal will be made regarding the experiment of new intermodal passenger services (such as bus plus bike from MICOTRA train stations), the launch of new bike friendly services and the implementation of joint actions to promote tourism, such as the affixing of common signage near the most important points of the CAAR. The LP, Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in consultation with its partners Land of Carinthia and their respective tourist offices, will also help in identifying links with major cycle-ways of the cross-border area, for greater enjoyment of natural and cultural cross-border assets. 

The project includes, among other initiatives, pilot projects for the safety of the cycle-way, eliminating architectural barriers and critical points present in a stretch near the town of Pontebba, by re-using the former Pontebbana railroad, new intermodal services and start up of new bike friendly services .
