In this  paper, measures for preventing  and treating  the effects  of  landslides  in the mountainous area of Μetsovo are proposed. Initially, two existing landslides are studied and the corresponding geotechnical solutions are proposed. Each project is described extensively, followed by cost analysis. Then, policies and  projects to  reduce landslide danger are analyzed. As far as geotechnical projects are concerned, an analysis on their effectiveness regarding landslides confrontation is conducted. One of these projects is the water drainage system, the construction of which is described extensively.

Despite the relatively high cost, required for handling landslide phenomena, their importance for the local society is particularly high. Protection from landslides through the appropriate interventions is a prerequisite for the development of the new, geographically broader municipality of Metsovo.
