This paper wants to demonstrate the ability to carry out tourism activities in protected areas in a sustainable manner, through the design of a service and a product generated by it. The service is an intermodal and assisted system based on a network of nodes of interchange distributed all over the protected area. Each node is a meeting place for different outdoor activities (sporting, scientific, recreational, educational) and a specific equipment distribution point for each activity (assisted fruition). In addition, in each node it is possible to change means of transport to reach other nodes in the most remote locations (intermodal use). Within this system the key role product is the electric pedal assisted bicycle, designed to allow users to move from one node to another through windy roads and steep slopes, carrying various equipment withdrawn in the different nodes.

Abstract
This paper wants to demonstrate the ability to carry out tourism activities in protected areas in a sustainable manner, through the design of a service and a product generated by it. The service is an intermodal and assisted system based on a network of nodes of interchange distributed all over the protected area. Each node is a meeting place for different outdoor activities (sporting, scientific, recreational, educational) and a specific equipment distribution point for each activity (assisted fruition). In addition, in each node it is possible to change means of transport to reach other nodes in the most remote locations (intermodal use). Within this system the key role product is the electric pedal assisted bicycle, designed to allow users to move from one node to another through windy roads and steep slopes, carrying various equipment withdrawn in the different nodes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
