“Skipass only for those who have second residences or book a night in a hotel”

BOLZANO – Christmas holidays with skis, but only for those who stay at least one night in different destinations or for those who own or rent a second home in the ski areas: this is the proposal of the councilors of the Alpine Regions, to avoid crowds in the tourist complexes and at the same time to start the season. “Giving the pass to those who have spent the night in an accommodation and to those who own or rent a second home, allows better control of the flow to the ski resort. In fact, travel can be a problem on certain days,” says the councilor from Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy, Province of Bolzano, Province of Trento, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, who signed the proposal.

“The solution that we propose to the Conte government allows it to start the winter season gradually, in this way the security protocols that we approved last Monday can be applied and put to the test – they continue – The government listens to us, allows the plants are opened to ascend with this criterion and allow regional mobility ”. In fact, this last point is considered a necessary requirement to start the season: “If you intend to prohibit it to avoid parties and moments of aggregation, at least mobility between regions is allowed for those who have booked at least one night in an accommodation.”

The proposal comes after observing the difference of views between the Alpine states, with Switzerland having already opened and Austria in the process of restarting the plants. “Our proposal – observe the regional councilors – is not linked to the recreational aspects of skiing and leisure but, on the contrary, derives from a special attention to the world of work and employment generated by the ski industry in our territories. commitment is essential, it affects the survival of the mountain, its workers and its associated income of 20 billion “.
