WHAT ARE THE MOUNTAINS TO YOU?

A STAGE OR A SOURCE OF STRENGTH?

The mountains are our retreat, our haven, our source of energy. The mountains are also an excellent place to chase Strava records. They are also the best guarantee for likes on Instagram. They are tourist hotspots and consumer goods.

WHAT ARE WE REALLY TRYING TO GET AT HERE?

Let’s pause briefly and reflect on our behavior. How do we experience the landscape, how consciously do we actually perceive nature? What are stories, reels, FOMO and GIFs doing to us? What can we do as a mountain sports community to avoid contributing to super-busy parking lots and to make sure we pose no threat to the animal kingdom when pursuing our sports in winter? Knowledge helps. The more we learn about our mountain environment, the more effectively we can take action. We’ve compiled expertise and inspiration for you.
