Le patrimoine culturel : un atout ancré dans le territoire synonyme d’attractivité et d’avenir pour nos montagnes !

Il est temps de mieux préserver et valoriser le patrimoine culturel montagnard et d’en faire un moteur de développement futur, pour revitaliser les zones de montagne, et renforcer leur attractivité.

Du 25 au 27 septembre 2018, près de 200 acteurs de la montagne, de toute l’Europe, se sont réunis à Vatra Dornei en Roumanie pour participer aux Assises européennes de la montagne sur « Le patrimoine culturel comme moteur de créativité, d’innovation et de développement socio-économique pour l’avenir des zones de montagne » organisées conjointement par Euromontana et plusieurs organisations roumaines notamment l’Agence des Zones de Montagne et le Ministère de l’Agriculture et du Développement Rural.

Le patrimoine culturel est particulièrement riche et diversifié dans les zones de montagne que ce soit les sites naturels, les monuments mais aussi les pratiques agronomiques, sylvicoles et alimentaires, ou les traditions. « Le patrimoine culturel des montagnes inclue tout ce qui est vivant » comme le résume Claudiu Sorin Rocu Mares, Secrétaire d’Etat au ministère de l’Agriculture roumain.

« Véritable atout ancré dans le territoire, non délocalisable, le patrimoine culturel nécessite une meilleure valorisation et donne des perspectives d’avenir à notre jeunesse et nos montagnes » explique Juanan Gutierrez, Président d’Euromontana.

Dans une déclaration commune, les participants appellent les institutions européennes, nationales et régionales à mieux reconnaitre ce patrimoine naturel et culturel des zones de montagne, notamment lors de l’Année Européenne du Patrimoine Culturel. Ils appellent à maintenir un niveau de financement adéquat pour le patrimoine montagnard afin d’aider à préserver et à mieux valoriser cette ressource non délocalisable et donc créatrice d’emplois, y compris dans des montagnes reculées.

L’innovation doit être au cœur de la valorisation de demain que ce soit en rapprochant acteurs de la recherche et ceux du terrain ou en partageant mieux les innovations technologiques, telles que les visualisations ou impressions en 3 dimensions, en les rendant plus accessibles, y compris pour de petites structures entrepreneuriales.

Développer une approche plus moderne et innovante du patrimoine culturel contribue également à développer de nouveaux Smart Villages et à revitaliser nos zones de montagne, que ce soit en développant les infrastructures numériques adéquates ou grâce à de l’innovation sociale.

Enfin, le patrimoine culturel montagnard doit servir à rapprocher les gens, que ce soit comme un facteur d’intégration et d’attractivité pour accueillir de nouveaux habitants ; pour rapprocher les habitants des zones urbaines et des zones rurales à travers une meilleure connaissance et un meilleur partage du patrimoine culturel montagnard ou encore grâce à un dialogue intergénérationnel.

❄️ Winter may seem to have arrived, but climate change is shortening the season and making snowfall less reliable...leaving mountain resorts with a stark choice: close or adapt?⛰️ Head to Austria to discover how the Sankt Corona ski resort has responded to this challenge and turned a climate risk into a regional asset, as part of the Interreg Alpine Space - TranStat project: www.euromontana.org/sankt-coronas-response-to-climate-change-diversifying-tourism-for-a-resilient...👉 Explore our good practices database: www.euromontana.org/good-practices-database/ Photo credits © Wexl Arena St. Corona am Wechsel ...

🧊 Glaciers matter for water, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond. This is what we are highlighting this year on 11 December, International Mountain Day.Every year, this day provides an opportunity to emphasise the crucial importance of these areas in terms of natural resources, biodiversity, identity, cultural heritage, ways of life, and more resilient models. However, all of this is under threat from climate change, poorly targeted funding and negative perceptions of pastoral professions.Today, we are putting the spotlight on these endangered ice giants throughout our mountain ranges!Did you know that: 💧The Alps alone provide 40% of Europe's fresh water?💡Glacier retreat will reduce hydroelectric energy production by an average of 10% in the Alps and by up to 35% by 2070 compared to today?🌱68% of irrigated agricultural land in the plains depends directly on water runoff from the mountains? ⛰️By 2034 the Pyrenees will be ice-free?📢An appropriate governance of glacier is needed to counteract the rapid changes!🧊 By signing the manifesto for better European governance of glaciers alongside 80 other organisations, we are calling for immediate and targeted political responses to the economic, social and environmental impacts of climate change.Have a look 👉 www.euromontana.org/european-manifesto-for-a-governance-of-glaciers-and-connected-resources/ #IMD2025 #InternationalMountainDay #MountainsMatterMountain Partnership ...
