The I Canary Islands Mountain Summit, organized by the Canary Islands Mountain Federation (Fecamon) and the Canary Islands Sports Industry Cluster (Cideca), will take place on May 27th at the Sala Multiusos Deporte Canario, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This event aims to become a reference forum for analyzing the challenges of activities linked to the natural environment in the archipelago, bringing together public administrations, companies, sports clubs, technicians, and specialists.

The summit, running from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM, will cover crucial topics such as mountain safety, overcrowding of natural spaces, legal responsibility for accidents, and emergency coordination. The program includes presentations on 'Safe Mountain', by Marta Ferrer, who will discuss prevention strategies and tools like the MIDE system, and 'Law and Mountain', by jurist Alejandro López, on civil and criminal liabilities.

A technical panel will analyze current conflicts such as the regulation and conservation of natural areas, the impact of increased user numbers, institutional coordination in rescues, infrastructure maintenance, and the growing judicialization of accidents. It will also address the patrimonial responsibility of administrations and the homologation of facilities.

Subsequently, the organization of major sporting events, risk management in mass participation races, and active tourism will be discussed, along with informing inexperienced tourists about route difficulty and dangers. The summit is particularly aimed at public officials from environmental, sports, emergency, and tourism sectors, as well as companies and clubs in the field.
