The mountaineering villages Obertilliach, Untertilliach, Kartitsch, Innervillgraten and Außervillgraten are exemplary development regions for sustainable alpine tourism in Osttirol. The Mountaineering Villages initiative has always been committed to the preservation of local culture and nature - which fits in wonderfully with the sustainable self-evidence in Osttirol! The philosophy of this initiative covers areas such as village image and alpine flair, mountain agriculture and mountain forestry, nature and landscape conservation, eco-friendly mobility and transport. Its resolution is also to meet the objectives of the Alpine Convention. The Alpine Convention is an international agreement between the 8 Alpine states and the European Union and is aimed at the sustainable development and protection of the Alps. In order to become a mountaineering village, communities must meet strict criteria that are in line with the group's philosophy.
Guests in the mountaineering villages expected:
- Proximity without disrespect
- Pleasure at a high level
- Movement from own strength
- Stimulation without hustle and bustle
- liveliness without noise
