Numerous members of the association gathered in Nova Gorica/SL at the end of September for the general assembly to discuss current issues and actively shape the future of the association.
A look back, a look forwards: twenty years after the first AlpWeek, the eighth edition of the international conference brought over 200 people to Nova Gorica/SL to discuss what is important in the development of the Alpine region. The ‘Alpine Town of the Year’ association was involved in the preparations, realisation and follow-up of the Alpine Week, which also included our general meeting.
Once a year, the Alpine Convention pays tribute to the cultural heritage in the Alps with the Alpine-wide ‘Reading Mountains Festival’, which consists of a mosaic of events organised by our partners throughout the Alpine region and beyond.
Alpine Town of the Year association engaging on the basis of Alpine convention stands for cooperation, mutual learning and constant improvement with the aim of increasing our citizens quality of life.
The network strengthens the position of the individual cities. This enables them to make their voice heard on an international level.
The title "Alpine Town of the year" has become a trademark and a concept of quality for our town Sonthofen. The "we" feeling, which was created by the involvement of the population, still has an effect in many activities today.
