Communauté de communes Maurienne Galibier

What Communauté de communes Maurienne Galibier does

Communauté de communes Maurienne Galibier is a French public intercommunal community (communauté de communes / EPCI) located in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, governing member municipalities in the Maurienne Valley, including ski resort towns Valloire, Valmeinier, and Orelle plus Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne. As a public territorial collectivity, it is owned by and accountable to its member communes through an elected council rather than private shareholders, and is not subject to private investment, M&A, or VC funding. Its commercial-facing activity is the operation of mauriennegalibier.com, a tourism discovery and booking portal.

The platform catalogs 1,126 local businesses across accommodations (249 holiday rentals, 14 tourist residences, hotels), dining (restaurants, bars, cafés, food shops), retail and services (cheese dairies, bakeries, butchers, artisanal producers), and outdoor activities (hiking routes including Poingt Ravier and gorges de l'enfer). It is built on the ResaLocal technology stack with Cloudinary CDN for image delivery, supports six languages (French, English, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese), and offers interactive maps, categorized listings, and an event calendar. The team comprises 12 employees.

The entity functions as a destination marketing organization (DMO) funded through member-municipality budgets and public transfers rather than transaction-based revenue. Pricing data in the input reflects individual business offerings (e.g., €184–€3,130 holiday rentals, €11.90–€29 restaurant menus) rather than platform fees. ResaLocal is the core technology partner providing digital infrastructure, and there is no disclosed API, mobile app, patents, certifications, or third-party integrations beyond standard CDN delivery.
