| description | This article seeks to establish the link between the notions of landscape and outdoor activities. The creation, this winter, of steep ski slopes in the Valgaudemar mountain area as well as other mountain ranges, raises the question of the notion of the landscape as a supporting space (in the sense of Joliveau, 1994) and as a kind of representation of nature. The question of the spatial references encountered on the way up and on the way down the slopes and their perception by the actors will be addressed in the first part of the article, along with the question of their meaning in organisational and emotional terms for the people who use them (itineraries, equipment, dangers, objectives, etc.). The north face of the Chaperon at the entrance to the Valgaudemar Valley serves as a starting point for this study based on the author's experience of the first ski descent of this slope which is considered to be extreme. The duality of perceptions between the ascent using mountaineering techniques and the descent on skis of this very steep mountain face raises the question of the notion of the ascent, which is well defined and based on numerous mountaineering stories and sociological works, and that of the descent, which is very seldom discussed and includes a complete change in spatial references and the construction of dynamic and adaptive itineraries according to the conditions encountered and the sensations experienced. The second part of the article will address the conditions of the narration, the sharing of these landscapes and sensations experienced, and the degrees of appreciation and recognition by the communities of mountaineers and skiers as well as the general public. |
