The political ecology of skiing in the Catalan Pyrenees: between private initiative and public rescue

Abstract

[ES] La relación entre los intereses de la iniciativa privada y la actuación de las instituciones públicas ha tenido un protagonismo fundamental en el despliegue histórico de la industria turística del esquí en el Pirineo catalán. La mayor parte de las estaciones han sufrido crisis económicas importantes que han terminado con su cierre o se han resuelto mediante la contribución del presupuesto público en su financiación hasta pasar a manos del Gobierno autonómico. El protagonismo adquirido por la Administración en el sector debe ser interpretado como parte de un programa inducido de terciarización, impulsado por la especulación urbanística, que es el principal proyecto gubernamental para las zonas de alta montaña. El examen de esta relación, en un escenario de calentamiento global y creciente contestación social, plantea numerosos interrogantes sobre el futuro tanto del sector como de las propias comarcas en las que está implantado.

[EN] The interactions between private economic interests and public institutions have played a fundamental role in the historical deployment of the ski tourism industry in the Catalan Pyrenees. Most ski resorts have endured significant economic crises that have forced their closure or that have been resolved thanks to the contributions from the State until they ended up in the hands of the autonomic government. The importance that the public Administration has achieved must be seen as part of an induced program of tertiarization propelled by urbanistic speculation which is the main governmental project for the high mountains’ areas. The analysis of this relationship, in a moment of global warming and growing social resistance, raises several questions about the future of the sector and the districts where it has been implemented.

Este trabajo se ha realizado en el marco del proyecto “Resistencias rurales: crisis socio-ecológica, desarrollo territorial y futuros alternativos en los Pirineos” (PID2021-125132NA-I00) financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y el Programa FEDER. Una primera versión de este fue publicada en Massart et al. (2020) Winter sports resorts’ strategies to adapt to climate change. Bruselas, Peter Lang.
