Isabel Casasús Pueyo, J.A. Rodriguez Sánchez, A. Sanz
In order to determine the effect of a ski resort on livestock farming systems in its surroundings, a structured interview was conducted with all farmers whose herds grazed during the summer on pastures within the ski station. When asked about the relative importance for them of different technical, economic and social objectives, they considered that economic aspects and those related to their family’s quality of life were crucial, while technical objectives were less important. Concerning their opinions about tourism, they considered that the valley and indirectly their farming activity had benefitted from the ski resort, while in turn it profited from the ecosystem services provided by livestock grazing.
