Shaping the Future of Alpine Ski Resorts: Sustainability & Youth Empowerment

We are excited to invite you to the event “Shaping the Future of Alpine Ski Resorts: Sustainability & Youth Empowerment”, which will take place from 24 to 25 June 2025 at Hotel La Vetta, in the beautiful setting of San Domenico Ski Resort, located approximately 30 minutes by car from Domodossola (Italy).

The event is co-organised by EUSALP Action Group 2 and the Youth Council, and will bring together ski resort operators, policymakers, sustainability experts, and youth representatives to engage in a strategic dialogue on the future of alpine tourism.

As ski resorts across the Alps face major economic and climate-related challenges, we will explore how to support a sustainable transition by identifying the skills and strategies needed for the workforce of today and tomorrow.

At the core of this initiative is the principle of youth empowerment: recognising young people not only as participants, but as key actors with the right and the capacity to actively shape the future of the Alpine economy.

If you would like to stay at Hotel La Vetta for both days of the event, we suggest contacting Carolina, the hotel’s representative, at +39 0324 780868 for information on availability and rates.

We look forward to seeing you in San Domenico!
