How Can a Complex Geosite Be Enhanced? A Landscape-Scale Approach to the Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformation of Pointe Leysser (Aosta Valley, NW Italy)

Abstract Complex geosites represent important georesources as components of the geoheritage a region. Regardless, their management in terms promotion and geoconservation may be challenging. Among others, gravity-related landforms can considered complex geomorphological features are often neglected geosite inventories, even if dynamic related educational exemplarity, multiscalarity aesthetic value relevant make them potentially geosites. The aim this research is to discuss possible approaches potential Western Italian Alps. area characterised by an articulated geodiverse set that concur define multifaceted geological setting due presence one most significant geofeatures Alps: Pointe Leysser deep-seated gravitational slope deformation. entire context, well each single geological/geomorphological feature, will presented described enhancing quantifying values (i.e. scientific value, additional for use). Finally, proposals virtual or field discussed, considering limitations advantages dealing with geosite. suggested strategies assume role respect both
