History of the Bergsteigerdörfer
The initiative was launched in 2008 by the Austrian Alpine Club. In recent years, it has been successfully extended by the respective Alpine clubs to Germany, Italy and Slovenia. In 2021, six new mountaineering villages will receive the label, bringing the total number to 35. Among them is the mountaineering village of «Lavin, Guarda & Ardez», which will become part of the initiative from 21/22 August.
