Summary/Abstract: The future resort, Rimetea –Cheile Vălişoarei, is linked to the beautiful massifs Rachiş, Cheile Vălişoarei, Piatra Secuiului and the ethnography of the settlements by Aiud Valley. We propose that the future resort will be settled along Aiud Valley between Rimetea and Cheile Vălişoarei. Considering the immense value of the environment (comprizing many protected natural zones –a large part of Aiud Valley being included in Nature Site 2000 Trascău –of community importance) to which we add the value of the ethnography of the area, including Rimetea village which is part of UNESCO patrimony, and a series of historical monuments in Colţesti village, the resort Rimetea –Cheile Vălişoarei won’t be meant for mass tourism or weekend tourism, but will encourage cultural tourism, controlled so as not become a stress factor for the environment or historical monuments. The future resort will have hotels of aprox. 300 places and new pension. On the outskirts of Piatra Secuiului and Data, climbing the slopes, there will be infrastructural abilities specific to the mountains :challet, winter sports facilities, tourist paths, acces roads from Podeni and Sălciua. Along Aiud Valley there is the possibility of making ponds with fish, swimming pools and o sports park. We also propose the restauration of the medieval fortress Colţeşti, firstly by making an access road up to the fortress and organizing a permanent exhibition with objects and costumes specific to the 13th century and not only. There can also be organized climbing contests on the vertical slopes of the Cheile Vălişoarei. The districtual road 107 M Aiud –Buru will be asphalted and between the future resort and nearby towns/ villages there will be asphalted tracts that will allow access to the tourists pensions upward Rimetea and around Cheile Vălişoarei
