All the locations that form part of the Mountain­eering Villages initiative are mountain sport pioneers in their own regions. That is why that the moun­tains and mountain activities occupy an important part in the cultural conscious­ness of locals and guests alike. An under­standing of the essential har­mony between man and nature is very much alive here, but there is wide­spread respect for all natural boun­daries.

Less, but better – that is the mantra

The Alpine Association’s Mountain­eering Villages there­by meet in full the aims of the Alpine Con­ven­tion, a treaty which commits signa­tories to sustain­able develop­ment through­out the Alpine region.
