The proposals of the tribune? In the first place, ” allow the middle and lower classes to enjoy the mountains “. And this by offering transport offers, and by developing sports or educational activities all year round. Including by transforming ski resorts into ” montagne stations “. Or by putting an end to a “slide” aimed at international tourists, all thanks to “ investments subsidized by public money ».
Then, environmentalists also want an economic transformation of the mountain. And this by supporting local SMEs, as well as the ” sustainable local wood industry for construction, renovation, furniture and heating “. Without forgetting the PDOs (Protected Designations of Origin), via ” quality, organic farming and farming ». « These activities are inseparable from the beauty of the mountain, they are at the origin of part of the landscapes », Pleads the forum.
