ALPINE TOURISM

2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T C I P R A I N T E R N A T I O N A L | 05

Secluded mountain lakes, picturesque villages, unspoilt nature: as an industry, tourism in the Alps always conveys the same images. The Slovenian town of Bled is a perfect illustration of how mass tourism shapes people’s lives. So how do we strengthen our identity? It’s a question CIPRA raised at its conference. __Gregor pushes his sunglasses up onto his forehead and casually props his leg on the pletna, the traditional flat-bottomed boat made of larch wood, with its distinctive striped blue awning. The group of people clustered around him stare at him blankly. Then, in a booming voice, the mayor Janez Fajfar translates Gregor’s words into English, and their expressions brighten up. Gregor is a pletna oarsman. He ferries his guests across the lake to the famous island of Bled. These boat trips are something of a tradition and have long been part of the townscape and identity of this small Slovenian town. As the mayor reliably informs his audience, being a pletna oarsman is very much a family matter. Indeed, as Gregor explains, the highly coveted licences are passed down from one generation to the next. Janez Fajfar goes on eloquently translating. In the old days, it was a way for poor people to supplement their income; today it’s a lucrative job. ‘My family’s been operating pletna boats for six generations.’ An ‘Alpine blend’ with Germanic, Slav and Romanic roots The people listening all travelled to Bled from various Alpine countries to discuss topics such as tourism and quality of life in the Alps at the joint yearly symposium of CIPRA International, CIPRA Slovenia, and the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities. Tourism has brought relative prosperity to the Alps. In many regions it remains an important source of income. But it also entails all sorts of challenges such as over-exploitation and untrammelled growth. Lots of visitors, a loud and boisterous fun-based scene, and long tailbacks of traffic

have made the local population in many places sceptical about tourism. Bled as a conference venue is a case in point. The idyllic lakeside location, the high-perched mediaeval fortress and the stunning mountain panorama

of Bled’s urban landscape.

The heroes of Bled go by the names of Arnold Rikli, Ivan Kenda, Anton Vork, and Jula Molnar. They stare down sternly from stone reliefs on the green memorial beneath the shady trees in the Kurpark. The Swiss natural healer Arnold Rikli was himself ailing when, in 1855, he came across the town of Bled as a health resort – and subsequently exported the concept back to Switzerland, as Fajfar claims. ‘No alcohol, no meat, and up the mountain every morning’ – the mayor shudders at the thought. With his navy blue jacket casually draped across his shoulders and a bon viveur paunch bulging beneath his checked shirt, he likes to talk about the history of Bled as if he himself had lived through

the early days of tourism.

‘The pace of tourism has picked up tremendously.’ The mayor himself was elected to office in 2006 and speaks eight languages. Development has been rapid in his view: ‘The pace of tourism has picked up tremendously.’ For many tourists Bled is just a brief stop on a European travel itinerary, to be ticked off the list. ‘The question we’re interested in is how to get visitors to stay here for longer.’ And how to teach them not to go bathing and swimming everywhere. How to behave is the title of a short feature film the municipality recently shot. ‘20, 21, 22…’ – the younger participants on the field trip are sitting on the wall counting the coaches arriving at ten-second intervals. They were the first

shrouded in fog or surrounded by lush leafy greenery as it is on this spring day in late May 2018, the light and the seasons may change, but the motif stays the same. What the photographs don’t show are the crowds on either side. Even the participants on this field trip have reached for their smartphones. Inside the small bakery by the name of Zima there’s barely room to move as people try to catch the attention of the owner, Klemen Zima. ‘One of these, one of those please!’ The smell of freshly baked bread and pastries fills the air. A cream slice is all part of the ritual of any visit to Bled. Photographs on the wall recall the past. The bakery has been around since 1880, and the Zima family has been running the bakery and cake shop since 2007. The staff dash hither and thither, attending to their customers. There is simply no time for a chat with the visitors. The next oven tray covered with pastries sprinkled with Join the queue:

in the midday sun, some with parasols, others with sun hats, all with cameras. And while the fortress is certainly Bled’s main attraction, the municipality bears the brunt of the traffic. Some time ago, as it began to attract more and more visitors, the Slovenian government declared it state property and has been collecting the admission fees ever since. It is said to be a cultural heritage asset of national importance. On the cobblestoned terrace of the fortress, the epicentre of all this tourism, visitors from all over the world lie in ambush, shooting photographs across the castle walls of the island in the lake. Carried out into the world by social media, newspapers, and the internet, the pictures convey the promise of an idyllic setting, of cultural experiences and uniqueness. And to shoot that very same photograph, every year thousands of tourists take the small town and its fortress by storm. Whether it’s snow-covered in winter, mystically

BET WEEN CO-OPER ATION AND CONFLICT ALPINE POLICY

__ Raising our voice on nature’s behalf and coming up with new solutions is a two-fold task that’s challenging CIPRA and our partners as we seek to engage both innovatively and critically. Indeed, today, if we are to respect the limitations of nature, it’s quality we need, not quantity. And sustainability is the key word.

SUSTAINABILIT Y IS A CHOICE , JUST AS TR AVEL IS A PHILOSOPHY

The Alpine Convention, signed in 1991 by eight Alpine states and the European Union, is Europe’s touchstone when it comes to sustainability. 2016 also saw the establishment of Eusalp, a development strategy comprising 48 regions in and around the Alpine area. Eusalp also invokes sustainability, which it references no fewer than four times in its mission statement. And yet the interests of Eusalp and Alpine Convention can and do diverge. At the insistence of the Veneto province, a subgroup of Eusalp is once again discussing the Alemagna, i.e. the extension of the existing Italian A27 motorway right across the Alps to Mu-

nich. It is a project that is at polar opposites to the contractual text of the Alpine

Youth Alpine Interrail

Convention. In 2018 it took CIPRA in its role of observer to address this conflict both within the Standing Committee of the Alpine Convention and Eusalp. A co-operation agreement drawn up with the EU Commission shows just how delicate the relationship between Eusalp and the Alpine Convention actually is. In October 2018 Eusalp’s Executive Board blocked the arrangement as Switzerland and the Land of Bavaria were not willing to sign up. Markus Reiterer, Secretary General of the Alpine Convention outgoing in 2019, had this to say about six years in office: ‘Co-operation is what makes the Alps strong, and it’s an area where there’s room for improvement.’ He added that the rejection of

the agreement was not as surprising as it was regrettable and that the Alpine Convention, for its part, was as willing as ever to co-operate. ‘It looks like Eusalp still needs some time. Increased vigilance over Alpine protection is still very much the order of the day.’ Kaspar Schuler, Managing Director CIPRA International w w w.c i p ra.o rg /e n /a l p i n e -p o l i ti c s

A YOUNG ANNIVERSARY CIPR A YOU TH COUNCIL

SLOW DOWN, TAKE A TR AIN, GO OUTSIDE!

__ The CIPRA Youth Council celebrated its fifth anniversary in 2018. During a hiking trip of several days in Slovenia, the Council’s young adults were able to look back at the last few years and forward to future goals. Discovering new locations in the Alps, hiking as a group, spending fun evenings in mountain huts or swimming in the crystal-clear waters of mountain

within easy reach by train, and an alternative to the usual holiday trips abroad by plane. We at the CIPRA Youth Council have made it our aim to showcase alternatives to standard holidays by trying out other options ourselves and, above all, making them available to other young people. Because we want sustainable lifestyles to be for the many, not the few, we are committed to eco-friendly and affordable travel throughout the Alps. To mark the fifth anniversary, we have treated ourselves to the greatest gift possible: the Youth Alpine Interrail Project. In summer 2018 100 young people travelled through the Alpine countries in an eco-friendly way with the first Alpine-wide Youth Interrail Pass. with young and older people. That is why we are working on other projects to be implemented in Alpine countries. They include cultural landscape stewardship in the Bavarian Alps, a film on the Alps, environmental education, an art project on the theme of colours, exchanges between locals and students abroad on the topic of landscape, and countering the contamination of a mountain lake in the Triglav region. New ideas are continually emerging as a result on how to improve the quality of life for young people in the Alps.
