ALPARC and the partners of the Interreg IIIB project ALPENCOM invite you to discover the Alps from the air. ViViAlp, the virtual visit of the alpine protected areas was developed for the Visitor Centres and is now also available online via Google Earth.

A new ViViAlp station has been installed in the Gran Paradiso National Park in Italy. The inauguration of this new equipment took place in the visitors’ centre of Cogne on Monday, 10th August 2009.

If you go to the ALPARC website at www.alparc.org, you will see that The protected areas section now includes a dedicated page entitled Visitor centres in the Alpine Protected Areas , which does exactly what it says on the tin. The page is currently available in English and gives an overview of the many different visitor centres to be found in the Alps in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland.

"My clime-mate" is an international exchange programme that is part of the dynAlp-climate project, which is focussed on climate issues. The programme is the brainchild of the "Alliance in Alps" network of local authorities and "Youth in Action", which also fund the project.
The programme brings together young people

In relation to the theme of the international conference «Wilderness and biodiversity: can we leave the natural world to its own devices?» (Zernez, 22/10/2010), Alparc’s latest publication is a collection of some of the talks given at the conference as well as scientific articles and conversations with managers of Alpine protected areas.
