Diversification of the economy is proposed as a strategy to reduce risks and create conditions for sustainable economic development. The first part of the article analyzes in detail the theoretical approach to the diversification of the economy of mountain areas. Various interpretations of economic diversification as a factor of social and economic development of the region have been presented. The second part examines the theoretical approach to the development of social infrastructure in mountainous areas. The author notes that the social infrastructure of the region is the diversification potential of industries that satisfy the social needs of the population. Many types of activities are associated with diversification, which exert an active influence on both the process of material production and the state of the social sphere, that is, on the multifaceted aspects of human life. The main element of the social sphere is the social infrastructure, the progressive development of which is one of the main goals of the regional development strategy. The conclusions emphasize the importance of diversifying the economy and improving social infrastructure to ensure the sustainable development of mountain areas.

However, the active participation of the state, local authorities and the business community is necessary for the practical implementation of these approaches and the achievement of positive results in the development of mountain areas.
