Submitted by rbeltram on Wed, 17/09/2025 - 22:20
The workshop on Alpine Huts and Mountain Tourism explored the evolving role of huts as infrastructures located at the intersection of environmental, social, and economic dynamics. Once conceived primarily as simple shelters, huts are now facing the combined pressures of climate change, overtourism, and shifting visitor expectations. Contributions emphasized both the opportunities and the risks arising from this transformation, underlining the need for integrated approaches that connect research, management practice, and governance.
