The approach toward the mountains has transformed considerably in recent years, both because of the ever-increasing number of people who frequent them and because of economic reasons for land use.
The consequences are a considerable increase in anthropization (construction of holiday homes, ski lifts, infrastructure, etc.) and less awareness of the respect that the mountains require, not only from those who frequent them for tourism or sport but also from those who live there and exploit them economically.
Social and media also nurture an immediate and "facilitated" approach that,encourage emulation behaviors resulting in soframping of some resorts or incorrect behavior toward the risks inherent in going to the mountains.
In this context, even initiatives that pay attention to the environment, such as land art interventions or concerts at high altitudes, must be undertaken with great care because of the impact they bring.
