Welcome to MOVING MOUNTAINS

The Moving Mountains Forum

A unique platform to foster and accelerate the sustainable transition of mountain regions.

SUMMARY OF THE 14TH EDITION

Agriculture, tourism and innovation at the heart of the realities on the ground

The 14th edition of the Moving Mountains Forum, the event for mountains on the move, took place on 20 and 21 August in Les Diablerets. Over two days, it provided an opportunity to tackle head-on an essential aspect of mountain communities’ activities: the alpine economy, which shapes and preserves landscapes as much as it feeds men and women. A panel of rare quality and authenticity, bringing together farmers, cheese makers, mountain product producers, SME managers, local elected officials and experts in the field from French- and German-speaking Switzerland, France and the Italian Tyrol, shared their observations and projects for shaping a sustainable future in the mountains in the face of the many challenges they face.

The Moving Mountains Forum also looked at the various responses of mountain resorts to climate change, producing a white paper intended to open a factual and dispassionate discussion on this development. The document (in French and English) can be downloaded here.

See you in August 2025 for the 15th Moving Mountains Forum!
