The presentation contains the methodology for the characterisation of Mountain huts. The methodology is one of the results of the participation to the Italy-Switzerland Transfrontier cooperation project 2007-2013 V.E.T.T.A. – Valorisation of Experiences and Transfrontier Tourism products at medium and high Altitude, commissioned by the Regione Piemonte as project leader. The general objectives of V.E.T.T.A. Project partners include improvement, promotion and valorisation of the tourist offer of mountain valleys within the pilot area (for Italy, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola).

Evidence from several studies shows that small-scale sport events may have more positive repercussions for the host community than major ones in terms of both economic and social impacts. This study estimates the economic impacts on a small community derived from athletes’ expenditure at a specific small-scale sport tourism event, the Italo-Swiss mountain endurance trail CollonTrek. Even if this kind of event is considered a minor sport event, generating very limited economic activity, this study supports the hypothesis that the funds invested by the public administration are compensated for by revenue generated during the trail. In fact, according to the three analyzed scenarios (Conservative, Average and Liberal), for each euro invested by the public administration, an economic return between €17.62 and €18.92 has been estimated, and between €5.64 and €6.9 (32%–36.47%) represent the direct economic return for the local community. Furthermore, in addition to the direct economic benefits, in accordance with the feedback from a sample of participants at the event (n = 180), this kind of event has positive implications in terms of future tourism for the host valley, pointing out how this kind of tourist activities has positive repercussions in terms of economic and social sustainability.

Il presente lavoro riporta i primi risultati del capitolo "Energia" del progetto "Osservatorio Tecnologico, gestionale e formativo per la sicurezza in montagna, la tutela dell'ambiente montano e delle strutture ricettive alpine", promosso dalla Fondazione Montagna Sicura – Montagne sûre di Courmayeur, attuato dal Dipartimento di Scienze Merceologiche dell'Università di Torino in collaborazione con la Fondazione stessa, con il supporto economico della Compagnia di San Paolo di Torino e dell'Assessorato Territorio, Ambiente e Opere pubbliche della Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta nell'ambito del programma Interreg III A Alcotra. L'Osservatorio vuole essere un supporto per i gestori dei rifugi alpini della Valle d'Aosta e, fra i suoi obiettivi, mira alla creazione di una banca dati sulle tecnologie ecocompatibili che possono essere utilizzate nelle strutture ricettive d'alta quota. Come primo passo si è condotta un'analisi sul campo...

Management of mountain huts is inserted in a particularly fragile ecosystem, i.e. the mountains, to which they are linked by a relationship of mutual interdependence. As a business activity, the mountain hut interacts with the surrounding environment, and in doing so, generates inevitable impacts on this. As regards the public administration, the mountain hut category may represent a potential recipient of resources to the extent that it decides to encourage application of measures able to mitigate such impacts. This work describes a system of modelling the mountain hut activity at a double scale. The first describes the processes of the activity of each mountain hut and the relationships between these and protection of the surrounding environment, while the second level aggregates the individual models of 35 mountain huts of the Aosta Valley and describes system behaviour according to various strategies at aggregate level. The final aim is to establish, where sufficient quantitativ...

Il presente lavoro riporta i risultati di una delle principali azioni svolte nell’ambito del progetto dell’Osservatorio tecnologico e gestionale delle Strutture ricettive d’alta quota, ovvero l'inquadramento tecnologico dei rifugi alpini da un punto di vista delle dotazioni impiantistiche in ambito energetico. Il progetto, di durata triennale, è stato promosso dalla Fondazione Montagna Sicura – Montagne sûre di Courmayeur ed attuato dal Dipartimento di Scienze Merceologiche dell’Università di Torino, nell’ambito del programma Interreg Italia-Francia III A Alcotra n. 192, dal titolo “Qualification de l’offre des refuges de haute montagne pour un tourisme durable dans la Vallée d’Aoste ed les Pays de Savoie, – REFUGES”, interamente dedicato ai rifugi alpini delle due regioni.

To become a concrete target, the concept of sustainable development should be located geographically, it must be calibrated in relation to the situation and potential of each country, starting from the knowledge of a particular environment in which to adapt the policies of sustainability. Based on this assumption and on the particular Italian industrial fabric, characterized by small and medium enterprises, often grouped in clusters, it's even more important to focus on policy measures targeted for the sustainability development and competitiveness of product and process.

The multidisciplinary research project "PROGEOPiemonte" aims to achieve a new conceptual and operational discipline in the management of the geological heritage of the Piemonte Region by means of the development of techniques for recognizing and managing its rich geodiversity at the local and regional scale. After a systematic review of inventoried geosites, 9 strategic geothematic areas will be investigated to represent the geodiversity of Piemonte, each characterized by high potential for scientific studies, enhancement of public understanding of science, recreation activities and for economic support to local communities. Geological history, climate and environmental changes, natural hazards, soil processes and georesources will be popularized not only with geosites but also with museum collections, evidences of mining activity and quarrying, science exhibits and nature trails. The recognition of the economic value of geodiversity will lead to the production of regional...

In the last 20 years, the tourism industry has witnessed the proliferation of many ecolabels with different scopes and criteria and sometimes with a limited area of recognition, which has caused confusion among guests. In order to offer a tool useful for consumers and recognised all over Europe, in 2001 the European Union decided to extend its official ecolabel to the hospitality sector. Fifteen years since its introduction, Italy represents the first country in Europe in terms of adhesion to the European Ecolabel while in other countries like Austria, Spain and France, only a limited number of properties are certified. This paper aims at presenting a study of 36 Italian accommodation establishments with the European Ecolabel (out of 194, the 18.6% of the total) and analyses their motivations, difficulties, costs, and benefits deriving from its implementations.
