Desde hace varios años se viene detectando con preocupación un progresivo descenso en el número de participantes en el programa de montañismo infantil de Guipúzcoa. Destinado a la Federación de Montaña el objetivo de este estudio consiste en proponer medidas para mejorar la participación de niños y niñas en las actividades de montañismo escolar. Previamente se lleva a cabo una revisión bibliográfica analizando los beneficios que aportan las Actividades Físicas en el Medio Natural (AFMN), enfatizando su valor educativo. El estudio se ubica en el marco de la metodología cualitativa, así para recabar información, se emplea la técnica de grupos de discusión, (complementada además de encuestas y actas). En los seis grupos de discusión celebrados participan miembros de todos los colectivos implicados: colegios, clubes, guías de montaña, federativos y gestores de la diputación. 62 personas han participado en los grupos de discusión y por parte del alumnado 350 de seis centros diferentes. Dentro del extenso listado de propuestas recogidas en los resultados podrían subrayarse: facilitar la participación, añadir elementos atractivos (lúdicos) y alicientes a las salidas montañeras, flexibilizar horarios para poder compatibilizar sus agendas, prestigiar la actividad, vender mejor las bondades y beneficios del montañismo, estrechar la comunicación entre los distintos agentes implicados… A modo de conclusión se considera necesaria una colaboración interdisciplinaria; se proponen medidas concretas y específicas dirigidas a cada uno de los estamentos involucrados. Y se espera de cara al futuro que gracias a la intervención propuesta sea posible modificar la tendencia imperante estos últimos años.Abstract. For several years, a progressive decrease in the number of participants in the children's mountaineering program in Guipúzcoa has been observed with concern. This study, which is addressed for the Mountain Federation of Guipúzcoa, seeks to understand the causes of the decline in the participation of children in the activities of the school mountaineering program. The benefits of Physical Activities in the Natural Environment (PANE) were previously analyzed by means of bibliographic revision, emphasizing its educational value. This study is located within the framework of the qualitative methodology. In order to gather information, the discussion-group technique was used (supplemented with surveys and records). Members of all the groups involved in the six discussion groups included: schools, clubs, mountain guides, federations, and deputy managers. A total of 62 staff members and 350 students from six different centers participated in the discussion groups. Within the extensive list of proposals included in the results, the following may be highlighted: facilitating participation, adding attractive (playful) elements and incentives to mountain outings, flexible schedules to reconcile agendas, increasing the credibility of this activity, better selling the positives and benefits of mountaineering, strengthening communication among the different actors involved ... In conclusion, an interdisciplinary collaboration is considered necessary; particular and specific measures are proposed for each of the involved levels. Thanks to the proposed intervention a modification in the prevailing trends of the recent years is expected to be possible in the future.
