“…In addition to scientific value, including educational exemplarity (Garavaglia and Pelfini 2011;Bollati et al 2019a), related to their importance in delineating the mechanism of Earth's surface evolution, landslides can also be featured by cultural (e.g. Borgatti and Tosatti 2010;Niculiţă and Mărgărint 2018;Cocean et al 2019;Tognaccini 2019) and other additional values such as aesthetic or socio-economic ones (Bollati et al 2016b(Bollati et al , 2018b.…”

Moreover, slopes modelled by gravity may have specific morphologies, characterised by slightly convex profiles (Cocean et al 2019) or inaccessible escarpments (Niculiţă and Mărgărint 2018), that have been influencing human settlements for a long time. In the first case, as explained by Forno et al ( , 2014), DSGSDs, for example, represented ideal locations for the settlement of prehistoric populations.…”

“…geomorphodiversity), indirectly inducing even more potential geomorphological hazards. The signs of the movements characterising DSGSDs are rarely perceptible by untrained people, even if their surface is often edified (Cocean et al 2019). Moreover, several different geomorphological elements, even valuable as geoheritage sites, are associated with such contexts, and their evolution may be strictly related to DSGSD dynamics (Bollati et al 2019b;Forno et al 2021).…”

Complex geosites represent important georesources as components of the geoheritage of a region. Regardless, their management in terms of promotion and geoconservation may be challenging. Among others, gravity-related landforms can be considered complex geomorphological features and are often neglected in the geosite inventories, even if their dynamic and related educational exemplarity, multiscalarity and aesthetic value are relevant and make them potentially complex geosites. The aim of this research is to discuss the possible approaches to a potential complex geosite in the Western Italian Alps. The area is characterised by an articulated and geodiverse set of landforms that concur to define a multifaceted geological and geomorphological setting due to the presence of one of the most significant gravity-related geofeatures of the Italian Alps: the Pointe Leysser deep-seated gravitational slope deformation. The entire context, as well as each single geological/geomorphological feature, will be presented and described enhancing and quantifying their geoheritage values (i.e. scientific value, additional value, the potential for use). Finally, proposals for virtual or field approaches will be discussed, considering the limitations and advantages of dealing with a complex geosite. The suggested strategies assume an important role with respect to both the promotion and geoconservation of complex geosites.

Landslides are important components of global geoheritage, but awareness of their significance and value in such terms seems scanty in the scientific community. Landslides are normally identified among various features of geological and geomorphological interest, and often considered a source of hazard. However, they are seldom identified as geosites and as part of geoheritage. This paper aims at filling these gaps by highlighting the importance of landslides in the global geoheritage. After a short introduction on the values and criteria to define landforms as geosites, based on literature review, we show to what extent landslides have been defined as geomorphosites and as part of geoheritage around the world. We then outline three aspects that should be specifically considered in the identification of landslides as geomorphosites, namely 1) past and present climate changes, 2) anthropic signature, and 3) risk perception. Finally, we describe four cases of spectacular landslides that serve as significant examples worldwide.
