In 2020 some 83.5% of Lombardy’s pastures hosted tourists with 24.3% recording over 2.000 arrivals per season. A figure that stood at 22% in 2019 according to a recent report. "Arrivals to the huts and pastures of Lombardy are on the rise. A trend - said the Lombardy Regional Councillor for Agriculture, Food and Green Systems - that is destined to grow after the pandemic. People will be looking for places in contact with nature, and many of our local products like cheeses are a big attraction for visitors. Now we have to focus on promoting what we have and we must enhance logistical services, such as access roads and stations for e-bikes. The mobile telephone network works only in 68.4% of the mountain pastures and broadband is available only in 13.5%. We must improve on these numbers.”
