Since 2007, there has been a national law having to do with the creation of nature parks of national importance, with the aim of promoting sustainable economic development in peripheral regions. The Pfyn-Finges Regional Nature Park is to be created on the basis of this law and is intended to create a bridge between French-speaking and German-speaking Valais. The Cantonal Nature Park that has been in existence since 2005 is to be integrated fully into the Regional Nature Park. The attached map shows the planned perimeters.
