The initiative comes from the City of St-Vincent, owner of the plant, but to ensure that the area is enlarged, there is need to break down the forests, which means the part of the Civic List controversy: "We are shocked - attacks Alessandra Pigeons, regional president of Legambiente -. The idea to increase the offer for skiing in the area below 2,000 meters appears questionable in times of climate change with mild winters also a straight medium-high. "
"In the design phase - Alessandra continues Pigeons - it was determined that the operation would cost in environmental terms, relatively little, because would have been torn down 'only' percent plants. But then it is discovered that plants are not to be killed percent, but even a thousand. It's not enough. The project area falls in both geological constraint (mean area of ​​landslide hazard) is a forest protection, then guaranteed by the regulatory instruments of landscape protection. The authorization to implement the project is been granted by the Region, but exceptions should be the exception, not the rule. Instead, in the Aosta Valley is now derogation on almost everything. The region is one of the 5 in Italy with 100% of the towns subject to hydrogeological, but it seems that those who administer do not know, or forget it often. "
According to the mayor Adalberto Perosino, however, the trees would be felled 680, while the other three hundred seedlings would be spontaneous.
"The cutting of trees at the Col de Joux - countered the mayor - is not necessary for the realization of the new track, which is almost all on stony ground, but to enlarge the existing one so that can accommodate the races. We are giving up many events as not to penalize families with the closure of a path, then we need a third runway just to meet these needs, competition on the one hand and do the other. "

Garessio 2000. Sci con vista mare sul colle Casotto
Garessio 2000 si trova alla Colla di Casotto, a circa 13 km dal centro di Garessio, in una posizione particolare delle Alpi Liguri. La stazione domina la Val Casotto e l’Alta Val Tanaro e, dalla sommità del Monte Berlino, regala un panorama che nelle giornate più limpide raggiunge il Mar Ligure e, in condizioni eccezionali, persino la Corsica. È proprio questo incontro tra montagna e mare l’elemento più caratteristico del comprensorio.
