The National Association of Mayors of Mountain Resorts unveils the 5 priorities for resorts and their territories

Elected officials, institutional and professional partners, parliamentarians, were brought together during the Board of Directors and the General Assembly of Mayors of mountain resorts to define the essential areas of work for the resorts:

Priority #1. Adaptation of stations

The ANMSM continues its work to identify the levers to be implemented in order to adapt the territories to major current developments. To support this trajectory, The Shift Project sheds light on different themes: town planning, housing, mobility, water resources.

Priority #2. Renegotiation of the price of electricity with suppliers

The government must ask energy suppliers to renegotiate contracts when the price of MWh no longer corresponds to the current price level. For the ANMSM, this renegotiation must take place well in advance of the winter season.

Priority #3. Preservation of furnished tourist rentals

Furnished tourist accommodation represents a major economic challenge for mountain resorts. This is why it is essential to preserve the diversity of the tourist offer at the hands of local elected officials.

Priority #4. Maintaining permanent housing through municipal zoning

The good dynamics of tourist activity is a structuring element for the resort territories. This depends largely on the maintenance of a permanent population, or its establishment, which can be improved thanks to the evolution of the zoning of municipalities and PLUs.

Priority #5. Enhancing mountain safety

The efforts made by the stations in recent years, particularly in conjunction with ski patrollers, are bearing fruit. It is a priority so that the mountain remains a place of renewal and change of scenery.

Among the priorities for the stations, the ANMSM wants a more supportive posture from the State. In a worrying context for the mountains between increasing standards and falling budgetary resources, with a scissor effect between the reduction in the DGF and the increase in the Equalization Fund, elected officials are counting on a supporting and facilitating State. The appeal from elected officials was received five out of five. Jean CASTEX, Dominique FAURE and David LISNARD took turns to agree with this.

For the President of the ANMSM, Jean-Luc BOCH: “In a complex economic and societal context for the mountains, this 2023 General Assembly, the first back-to-school event for the mountains, made it possible to bring together elected officials and partners around major structuring issues for our resorts. In this spirit, I wanted the ANMSM to take collective action bringing together all French resorts around the candidacy for the 2030 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. Thus, all resort mayors will soon vote on a motion of support making this candidacy a national collective project. »
