Mountaineering Villages
The mountaineering villages are small Alpine communities promoting sustainable tourism while preserving traditional culture and nature.
Nestled in scenic valleys, the villages offer a space where humans and nature exist close to each other. They act as a beacon for traditional mountain culture while promoting sustainable, low-impact tourism and mountaineering. These villages combine a love for hospitality, a deep respect for the environment, and access to a sprawling network of mountain trails and huts.
The mountaineering villages are committed to the implementation of the Alpine Convention and a sustainable life in the Alps.
