Strategy game about the connection between transport development / economy / tourism and their consequences on the Alpine environment
“Transalpin“ is a teaching aid and strategy game whose goal is to make aware of the connection between transport development and economy and tourism and what are the consequences of these three factors on the Alpine environment.

Teachers can use at best “Transalpin“ for their secondary school classes if they want to deal with the Alps, mobility and transport.
