The "Laurent Ferretti" mountain observator
The “Laurent Ferretti” Mountain Observatory was founded in 1994 as part of the Foundation itself with the following aims:
- to promote an exchange of ideas concerning the mountains, with the contribution of qualified partners;
- to develop a multi disciplinary research project with a beyond borders focus;
- to efficiently distribute the results of the research.
Starting in 2002 the Observatory Centre has carried out these projects with 5 different well-defined projects:
- long term development in mountain regions;
- assistance to mountain populations and businesses;
- protection of mountain environment and territory;
- specific policy for mountain areas;
- mountain languages, culture and social characteristics.
As the Mountain Observatory is based in Courmayeur it is perfectly placed to enjoy a privileged relationship with the Aosta Valley Region, whilst not ignoring the international aspect.
The Mountain Observatory is structured in a particularly flexible fashion, as defined by the Foundation’s Board of Directors, so that it can always be transformed to meet with the Foundation’s requirements. At the moment it has a President and two Vice Presidents.
