Services - Consulting

Every two years, Grenoble, France, hosts Mountain Planet, gathering global mountain stakeholders and offering a wide range of services and consulting for industry and tourism professionals. Topics include ski area development and the energy transition in Alpine ski resorts, Rhône-Alpes, Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and all mountain territories in France and worldwide.

Technological Innovations and Market Trends

In 2024, Mountain Planet celebrates 50 years of serving mountain sector stakeholders. Jérôme Riff, General Manager of Alpexpo Grenoble, emphasizes: ”The show has evolved over the past three editions, presenting innovative solutions that transform mountain villages, which were primarily focused on ‘white gold.’ Today, 95% of revenue comes from ski lifts, so even as we develop a four-season mountain, it doesn’t completely replace the ‘white gold’ that snow represents.”

Innovation is at the heart of Mountain Planet, offering exhibitors a specific opportunity to showcase their products and services. The Innovation Book by Mountain Planet provides a comprehensive guide to the latest trends, featuring in-depth articles and expert interviews sharing their vision of mountain tourism and knowledge during meetings, conferences, and panel discussions. On April 16, 2024, at 10 am, Swiss international expert Laurent Vanat will present the international report on snow and mountain tourism. Published annually in partnership with Mountain Planet, this report assesses over 2000 ski resorts in 68 countries and reviews the ski, snow, and mountain industry while discussing market evolution.
