Some farmers have therefore made the decision to charge them. Thus, to get to certain “Instagrammable” places, it is now necessary to pay 5 euros. The Seceda and Drei Zinnen mountain chains (three peaks) are particularly targeted. Images shared on the networks show queues up to these turnstiles, up to 4,000 people a day. Surprisingly, these long lines did not have a deterrent, on the contrary, people always seem to be in the key places to get photos. CNN collected the testimony of Carlo Zanella, president of the Haut-Adige Alpine Club: “The media talk about the turnstiles, everyone is talking about it. And people go where everyone is going. We are sheep. I would increase the price of 5 to 100 euros. And I would close the accounts of travel influencers “
In France, private swimming pool prohibitions are multiplying: “It’s little luxury, not something essential”
If the Italian law prohibits paying access to natural parks, such as the Alps and the Dolomites, the landowners behind the installation of these turnstiles claim not yet to have received an official reaction from the authorities.
Georg Rabanser, a former snowboarder of the Italian national team, is one of these landowners and testifies to the American media: “There are so many people who pass by here every day, everyone searches our properties and leaves waste there. This decision is a call for help. We expected an appeal from the provincial authorities. But nothing. We only read declarations in the newspapers. Rumors; Nothing concrete. We did not even receive any warning letters. So we continue. “
Beyond the possible nuisance generated by surcourism, it may be dangerous, all the more altitude. “”In the past, those who went up in the mountains were prepared, dressed for the mountains and came to hike. I saw people climb to seceda with parasols and flip flops and get stuck because the cable car was closed and they had not checked the ski lift times […] That’s not what the mountain should be “, concluded Charles Zanella.
