4 Where is the Project area?
5 Where is the Project area? Aosta Valley: km inhabitants 60% > m a.s.l. (6.562 ft) 30% > m a.s.l. (8.200 ft) Highest peak is M.Blanc m ( ft)
6 In the winter the average snow cover is over 60% of the Region and up to 80% from December to February. 15% of the Region is affect by avalanche activity. In the summer the snow line > 3000 m a.s.l.
7 135 km 2 of glaciated area about 4% of the territory n. 209 glaciers 77% < 0,5 km 2 n. 7 > 5 km 2 Small size glaciers means that they are strongly affected by climate trend and react very fast to climate phenomena
8 PrévRiskHauteMontagneaimsto improveknowledgeof emergingrisksin high mountain environment. It s necessary reinforcing a risk culture in alpine mountain in the local and touristic population to reduce its vulnerability - existing risks independent of human presence or consequent to human actions- WHY and HOW
9 On July 17th 2015, due to a particularly strong heatwave, was observed an increase of the number of rock falls on the normal route to Mont Blanc, French authorities decided, after several fatalities, to close this itinerary.
10
11 This year, a large crevasse appeared at 4.700m of elevation, making the normal route of the Mont-Blanc a more technical itinerary. This example highlights the strong link between high mountain environment and local economy.

14 Mountain sports evolved and are, now, also focused on racing. In the past winter season (from late November 2015 to mid-april 2016) over 180 alpine ski races were held on the Italian side of the Alps. The high routes are crossed earlier and earlier (first snow falls). Ski slopes are often used by these new adepts for training, and some of them doesn t know much about avalanche risks, and feel on safety.

15 It is also necessary to consider the influx of tourists in mountain communities. This influx represents an important part of mountain goers, and needs proper training, taking into account their own knowledge of mountain environments and conditions. During periods with possibile critical avalanche risk, like in January 2016 it becomes essential to be able to set up an adeguate, timely and effective communication to the population. Avalanche in Cervinia (tourist area of the Matterhorn), 01/12/2016. "For a few minutes - he told a witness - the darkness fell throughout the area" (ANSA).

17 - Mountain Safety Festival (August 2016) - Conferences on mountain rescue for large audiences(september 2016)
18 Work in progress: -development of an application for sharing information on mountain conditions; -implementation of a Snow Plan for the population.
