International Mountain Day - December 11, 2020

Appeal by the EUMA (European-Mountaineers)

We love the mountains - AND we respect the mountains, especially in times of Covid 19 and climate change!

Winter mountaineering and ski touring are particularly popular right now because the risk of infection in the outdoors is low. However, the dangers in the mountains are not impressed by more or less danger of infection. They remain as they have always been! Not being infected does not mean that we are immune to accidents, injuries from falls or avalanches. On the contrary: an increasing number of inexperienced ski-mountaineers will increase this risk.

So let's be extra careful not to expose the people who will hopefully rescue us to additional dangers. Mountain rescuers have to face alpine risks because of the people who have been involved in an accident. In addition, they now have to wear protective masks during their strenuous work and are exposed to an increased risk of infection due to the physical proximity during the rescue operation. After that, let’s hope the hospital will not be overrun...

We, the European Mountaineering Federation, are not the only ones who fear that popular mountain areas will be overrun, especially in the pandemic season. We therefore recommend switching to “less cool” destinations.

COMEMORAÇÕES DO DIA INTERNACIONAL DAS MONTANHAS 2020

Montanha, desporto e desenvolvimento sustentável

11-12 de dezembro de 2020

UBI COVILHÃ

 Organização Conjunta:

 Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI) e Federação Promotora de Montanhismo e Escalada (FPME)

INFORMAÇÃO:

A Pandemia mundial provocada pelo denominado COVID 19 afetou, de forma desigual, todos os eventos desportivos do planeta.

No que diz respeito à FPME, são de assinalar os cancelamentos e adiamentos dos Jogos Olímpicos, no Japão e de diversos Campeonatos do Mundo e Europeus de Escalada.

Num contexto desportivo mais lúdico, assinale-se ainda um imenso leque de atividades de escalada e de montanhismo que a FPME suspendeu. Com toda a prudência e respeito pelas normas da DGS os mesmos passos foram dados pelas muitas dezenas de clubes nossos filiados e consequentemente os nossos praticantes.

Destaque-se pela proximidade cronológica a celebração do DIA INTERNACIONAL DAS MONTANHAS, cujo programa contava em 2020 e precisamente, no dia 11 deste mês, com a iniciativa organizativa partilhada entre a FPME e a Universidade da Beira Interior. Neste evento estava também prevista a participação da ASE e do CMG.

O Covid trocou-nos as voltas, mas não nos venceu!

E com otimismo informamos que em 2021, nos dias 10 e 11 de dezembro celebraremos, com os mesmos parceiros e seguramente com os mesmos convidados a IIIª Edição do DIA INTERNACIONAL DAS MONTANHAS.
