Dear Readers,

We hope that the summer season went well in your natural areas and that this beautiful summer has given you all the energy you will need for the return to work!
Many young people climbed our mountains this summer; you can already see below the first testimonials and pictures of the 2016 edition of “Youth at the Top”, while waiting for the retrospective video now in preparation.

Several events await us in the coming weeks and there is still time for you to register via the articles below: 29-30 September, the Final Innovalps Congress “Alpine Regional Nature Parks – Models for Change” / 11-15 October, 2016 Alpine Week “The Alps & People” and the Session organised by ALPARC: “Ecological Connectivity for the Benefit of All” / 18-19 October, the “Mountain Environment Education in the Alpine Protected Areas” Workshop.

Wishing you a beautiful autumn!
