The publication of the “Operational indications for inclusive ski resorts in the alpine area” by the Ski-Ability Project, promoted and co-financed by the Lombardy Regional Authority within the sphere of the Arge Alp international Working Community with the aim of making ski resorts accessible to people with disabilities, falls cohesively and concretely within this framework of values. It offers evidence of how sports activities, if adequately supported and designed, can contribute meaningfully to improvement in the quality of the life of people with disabilities, favouring their physical, psychological and relational wellbeing, as well as challenging the forms of isolation and marginalization that are still present in our society. The data, good practices and reflections gathered together in this publication tell the story of a path consisting of commitment, expertise and collaboration between institutions, third sector bodies, sports operators and citizens. This is a collective endeavour combining public policies and social commitment, demonstrating that inclusion is not an abstract principle but a shared responsibility requiring vision, continuity and networking capacities.
