A local politician, Renzo Masolo, also wants helicopter-assisted wingsuit jumping ended.
He says the practices are unsafe, environmentally damaging, and serve only the interests of a few wealthy thrill seekers.
Renzo Masolo is a councillor with the Green-Left Alliance and says the activities “have nothing to do with the mountain and its culture.”
The initiative is also supported by the Italian Alpine Club.
The Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano and the Aosta Valley have long-standing regional rules restricting heliskiing.
Piedmont updated its regional framework in recent years to regulate mountain sports and flights in mountain zones, specifying where and when heliskiing can occur.
