THE OLYMPIC SLIDE
The Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics are causing a stir, not so much for athletes and disciplines, but rather for infrastructure and costs. The bobsleigh track, more than any other, has raised great controversy, due to radically different visions of the mountains. Marco Albino Ferrari and Mauro Varotto, mountain experts and co-authors of Scivolone olimpico (Edizioni People, 2024), analyze from multiple points of view this emblematic case, which seems to once again bring to the fore the clash between traditional approaches to tourism and new environmental needs. Giacomo Repele converses with the authors.
